We begin the discussion today about the B.C. government's decision to send over as many as 4,800 cancer patients for radiation treatment to the U.S. over the next two years and it will be fully funded by the province (which will cost aprox. three times more than what it would cost in our healthcare system). Next, we get into the very important discussion on nutrition and the need to ensure that Seniors in the healthcare system get access to healthy, nutritional food programs.
