@NightShiftMD A solution (of many): Have CaRMS run before the NRMP - avoids losing Canadian IMGs to the States

[Jane Philpott @janephilpott]

Impressive findings published by @NavPersaud, Michael Bedard, @drandrewb showing that eliminating out-of-pocket medication costs for patients can cut total spending on health by a median of $1641 per year. https://t.co/shS7csvetF #pharmacare #prevention

@DGlaucomflecken @CSHP_Banff Does this mean there’s going to be Canadian content in your next videos👀

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.

They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.

Don't let them fool you.

[Nikki @nikkiiiiin]

One part of the solution? Make sure the CARMS match date is BEFORE the NRMP so you don’t lose Canadian IMGs to America.

[Jean-Yves Duclos @jyduclos]

Family health care is the corner stone of healthcare, it helps us live healthier lives and supports our health care system by reducing hospitalizations & ER visits. I visited @AFHTO to discuss the growing importance of family health teams in providing primary care across Ontario.

WHY is the plan to pay private clinics MORE than what it costs the hospitals to do?! There is honestly no logic other than Ford funding his wealthy friends.

[Nikki @nikkiiiiin]

The state of Ontario’s healthcare and it’s trajectory is making me less and less likely to want to return home to practice. Why would I want to support a two-tier system?! @fordnation real good job considering the physician shortage.

[Nikki @nikkiiiiin]

Like WHY are we spending money on private clinics, we’ll lose HCWs to them and worsen the problem. Plus privatization always costs more to the taxpayer in the long run. This is so disheartening and frustrating.

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

Hospital emergency departments across Ontario were forced to close 158 times in the past year, resulting in some 4,430 hours — the equivalent of 184 days — when the urgent care needs of many communities could not be met locally. https://t.co/CwrJU3dQ2q

Ontario had the LOWEST voter turnout rate in history, and y’all are outraged at all the changes Ford is making now? I have never seen such incompetence from a government.

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

i find it awfully confusing as to how some political leaders will use misogynistic tags/audiences for their posts and then say they want the best for the girls/women of iran at protests and also feign surprise when the same misogynists attack their own partners.

[Nikki @nikkiiiiin]

Can we get this in Canada too

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: At a White House event, President Biden announces new plans to crack down on junk fees across the economy — including bank overdraft fees, credit card late fees, cell phone termination fees, and airline ticketing fees.

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

it cannot be overstated but to have policymakers focus on privatization in our health system while the disparities are already so stark, and after the way the for-profit sector failed to protect our elders/seniors in long term care, this comes with very real human consequences.

[Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD]

I can’t think of a worse time to float the idea of a parallel private healthcare system than now.

[Nikki @nikkiiiiin]

Does this mean I can say the Q word without everyone yelling at me now?! 😅

[Josh Trebach, MD @jtrebach]

on one hand, why did this need an RCT

on the other hand, now I can reference this RCT

[Nikki @nikkiiiiin]

The people who complain about Pearson airport would be so grateful after going through the Miami airport cause that was 59393x worse 🙃 (and why is it like this every single time??🥲)

[Yoni Freedhoff @YoniFreedhoff]

Ontario hospital after Ontario hospital announcing mask mandates will continue despite our CMOH's decision to drop them really underscores the judgment of our current CMOH

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

The list of top recipients of the Ford government’s $6.4-billion expansion includes some of Ontario’s worst-performing LTC chains when ranked by pandemic death rate.
