Health Coalitions: Original Defenders of Our Public Healthcare

Tommy Douglas surely anticipated the likes of Premier Doug Ford when he founded Health Coalitions to defend public healthcare in Canada. These groups have been standing guard over our public healthcare since its inception, but they've never had a fight like this on their hands before. Made up of folks like you and I, our Health Coalitions are very likely the key to taking collective action to stop the privatization of healthcare in Canada. Hear Peter Bergmanis explain what they are, what their mission is and just what is standing in their way. Can they wake up Canadians in time to save our healthcare? Listen in.
