Stop LifeLabs’ QUEST for Profit — Bring Lab Services into the Public
System | April 15th, 2025

BC Health Coalition Letter Calls on BC Government to end contract with the U.S Owner of LifeLabs

Last Thursday the B.C. government announced a directive for all ministries, health authorities, and Crown corporations to review contracts with U.S.-based companies in an effort to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.

The BC Health Coalition urges the government to act on this directive by ending its contract with Quest Diagnostics and bringing laboratory services fully into the public system.

We can do it. We underspend versus peers. We have the space to match funding with a plan for an exciting vision of primary care that not only expands access for everyone, but provides high quality care. Lets build a healthcare system with word-class primary care as its cornerstone. /end

Danyaal Raza @danyaalraza.com · 13/11/2024

But we need to act fast. Family doctors are burnt out, retiring early and/or leaving comprehensive primary care all together. Only ~20% of people have access to a team. And we our underperforming on access to care. (ok, so not a short thread, but almost there!) 8/

This was the Tommy Douglas 'Medicare 2.0' model from over 50 years ago. At dawn of the antibiotics era, "Swift Current Health Region #1" gave us an early example. The building blocks still exist today. More family doctors are working in team-based models & they work better. 7/

Despite having some of the highest drug costs in the world, Big Pharma invests little in Canadian R&D. Don't believe the hype and don't be bullied into accepting political justifications for unfair drug prices. #cdnpoli #cdnhealth
