VICTORIA - The B.C. government has followed through on a promise to lift the waiting period for medical coverage for Canadian military families moving to the province from overseas.

Usually there's a three-month delay before new B.C. residents can be enrolled in the Medical Services Plan, but Health Minister George Abbott says military families will get immediate coverage.

He says it's out of recognition of the sacrifices they make in going overseas for duty.

Most military families are covered by a federal group plan during the waiting period.
