Public health care - “it’s a catastrophe!”This government chooses not to adequately fund the Public Health Care system and is now advocating for privatization. #SLOnt #SarniaLambton #OnPoli #OnHealth #QueensPark #NoMandateToPrivatize #Medicare

“I don't think we should call it a crisis. It's a catastrophe. Not enough nurses, not enough other hospital workers, not enough doctors,”
Shirley Roebuck with the Ontario Health Coalition in Windsor today.

“It speaks to a larger problem around corporatization of healthcare, where the healthcare professional has dual loyalties, the loyalty to the corporation and their business, and the loyalty to the patient, which should always be paramount.”#SLont #0nHealth https://t.co/2TnOTZqebm

Ford is not stopping. He is now accelerating his hospital privatization. This summer, Ford has announced 57 new private clinics that will take more than 100,000 diagnostic tests out of local public hospitals- along with funding and staffing.

[OntarioHealthCoal'n @OntarioHealthC]

We cannot let two-tier medicare and the charging of patients thousands of dollars for surgeries & diagnostic tests to become normalized. We are on the cusp of it now. If we don't fight back, we are going to lose Public Medicare.

[OntarioHealthCoal'n @OntarioHealthC]

At stake is our single tier Public Medicare & the services and funding in our local public hospitals. Don't let Ford destroy them.

[OntarioHealthCoal'n @OntarioHealthC]

The situation is extremely urgent. Pls fill the Public Galleries at the Legislature on Wed Oct 29, host a Legislature Watch event in your town, and spread the word. Do everything you can to pour on the pressure. Details below 👇

“Many of our public hospitals in Ontario date back a century or more.Most of our hospitals were founded by municipalities & charitable or religious orders. As the middle-class faced difficulty paying for medical bills,the movement to create public hospitals kindled”Natalie Mehra

The # 1 priority of Private Health care clinics is profit. #Ontario #Bill60 'Your Health Act' shields private clinics from public scrutiny and accountability. Public hospitals prioritize patient care. #SaveOurHospitals #HealthCareForPeopleNotProfit #OnHealth #OnPol

A private clinic illegally charged Maureen nearly $7,000 for cataract surgery. She had to borrow money from her bank to pay for her operation.

"provincial fiscal austerity destabilizes hospitals just as population growth and aging put more pressure on hospital staffing, which exacerbates hallway medicine and the long wait times patients face at emergency departments or for scheduled surgeries." https://t.co/hZQGARpQYq
