🆘 BC is about to cut off care for 5,000+ patients with Long COVID, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia.

MSP’s Sept 1 cap will gut a model that works: virtual groups that save money, reduce ER visits & reach those too sick to travel.

@Josie_Osborne must act now. We need this care to survive.

Thousands of chronically ill British Columbians are about to lose access to care.

On Sept 1, MSP will cap virtual group visits- gutting a virtual model that works for Long COVID, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia patients.

Virtual group visits cost less, reach more, and reduce ER visits.

So why is BC slashing a model that actually saves money and lives?

@Josie_Osborne: This is policy failure in motion.

#SaveBC_CLMF #HealthJustice #bcpoli #DEI #VirtualCare

I’m not asking for special treatment.

I’m asking BC to protect the only ongoing care that’s ever worked for my complex chronic illnesses.

Sept 1 will gut it.

Please @Josie_Osborne - find a solution.

#LifeLineBC #LongCOVID #MECFS #ChronicIllness #bcpoli

BC’s most invisible patients- homebound, disabled, and post-viral- are being abandoned.

MSP’s cap will cut off care for 5,000+ who cannot access in-person visits.

This is a disability issue. A justice issue.

@Josie_Osborne, act now.

#SaveBC_CLMF #DisabilityJustice #bcpoli #LifeLineBC

If you believe in equity, disability rights, and evidence-based care:

📣 Speak up.

BC is about to gut a successful virtual care model for Long COVID, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia.

Sept 1 is the deadline.

Protect BC-CLMF.

🚨 Save BC’s Complex Chronic Disease Care Model 🚨

On September 1, BC will cap virtual Group Medical Visits at 20 patients/hour — threatening to collapse the only effective, scalable virtual model supporting 5,000+ people with #LongCOVID, ME/CFS, and Fibromyalgia.

The BC Centre for Long COVID, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia (BC-CLMF) serves 50 patients per session, saving money, reducing ER visits, and reaching those too sick to attend in-person care.

This model is cost-effective, accessible, and essential for people with disabling chronic illness- and there is no real alternative. Cutting this means cutting off care entirely for many of us.

📧 Tell Health Minister Josie Osborne to act NOW: HLTH.Minister@gov.bc.ca

We’re not asking for more - just to protect what already works.

🚨 Urgent: BC is about to cut off care for 5,000+ chronically ill patients 🚨

The BC Centre for Long COVID, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia (BC-CLMF) provides group-based virtual care for patients with disabling chronic illness- reaching 40–60 patients per Zoom session. It’s efficient, accessible, and saves the system money by reducing ER, GP, and specialist demand.

But starting September 1, 2025, MSP will cap group visits at just 20 patients/hour- a change that will dismantle this proven model and leave thousands without care.

This isn’t just bad policy — it’s a healthcare crisis in the making.

📣 Contact your MLA, Minister Osborne, and Premier Eby today.

Tell them: Don’t let this care model collapse. Protect the patients and act now.

💔 BC’s Chronic Illness Care Model Is Being Dismantled

Starting Sept 1, MSP will cap virtual group visits at 20 patients/hour- a change that threatens to collapse a care model that works for Long COVID, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia.

Clinics like the BC Centre for Long COVID, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia currently serve 40–60 patients per session, delivering real, tangible, irreplaceable care- with patient testimonials to prove it. These visits are lifesaving for people who are housebound, rural, and chronically ill- and they reduce pressure on ERs, GPs, and specialists.

If this model disappears, thousands will be left behind.

📧 Email @Josie_Osborne now: HLTH.Minister@gov.bc.ca

Tell her: Find a real solution. Protect this model. Patients can’t wait.

#SaveBC_CLMF #LifeLineBC #LongCOVID #MECFS #Fibromyalgia #VirtualCare #DEI #HealthEquity #ChronicIllness #bcpoli

Tell your MLA: Minister Osborne must find a solution—before it’s too late.

Pro Tip: Encourage supporters to tag their MLA’s Twitter/X handle and use stories + screenshots of sent emails to amplify momentum.
