The BC Health Coalition is dedicated to the following principles:

• Health care is a right — everyone must have the right to high quality, responsive and appropriate health care which is publicly funded, publicly accountable, and publicly controlled.
• Access to health care must be equitable — regardless of an individual's income, level of ability, age, cultural heritage, sex, sexual orientation, or geographical location.
• Issues that are basic to good health must be addressed — food, education, income, housing, social support, and personal safety determine an individual's ability to achieve and maintain good health.
