Within this news item is the potential for a very dangerous change in laws. We’ve just had monumental changes to our healthcare laws, which in the interest of political expedience, didn’t include all the necessary changes to make things financial sound. I include in this increased taxes and who pays, limits on services, and limits on compensation. In this article on proposed changes in British Columbia are two provisions which are a danger to optometry there and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were being considered here.
