On June 25, the CLHIA shared the life and health insurance industry’s recommendations for the 2021 British Columbia budget with the province’s Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services. Recommendations notably included: supporting workplace and individual drug plans that currently provide millions of B.C. residents with comprehensive access to prescription drugs; leveraging the industry’s investment capacity to accelerate long-term infrastructure projects; creating more opportunities for insurers to invest in assets that meet sustainability goals; and reducing and eventually eliminating the premium tax on life and health insurance premiums.
