Petition:
Fair access to health services that are not available in the regions

Petition text

CONSIDERING THAT the reimbursement of expenses incurred to access non-dispensed health care in a patient's area of residence should not depend on the tax paid by the individual;

CONSIDERING THAT the citizens of each region of Québec are subject to the same tax regime;

CONSIDERING THAT the citizens of each region of Québec are entitled to a free and fair access to health care;
 
We, the undersigned, ask the Government of Québec:

  • a substantial increase of the lump sum allowance to offset the costs incurred by users who must travel to obtain health care not available in their region;
  • for the expansion of the conditions provided in section 3.1.5 of the Politique de déplacement des usagers - Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine (user transportation policy), providing for the reimbursement of the totality of the plane ticket for users hailing from certain geographical areas, to include users residing more than 400 km from the place of treatment in exceptional cases where care requires users to travel more than 6 times a year and in cases where the state of health of users makes ground transportation prejudicial to their comfort;
  • that the non-refundable tax credit for medical expenses non-dispensed in the regions, line 378, become a refundable tax credit.

The signing period for this petition is over.
