Welcome to “concierge care”: the Ford govt is underfunding public healthcare providers while enriching private clinics, which are siphoning cash from the public system & using loopholes to charge fees for faster access to medically necessary care www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... #onpoli #ONhealth

Ford promised to end hallway medicine in 2018. 8 years later, over half of ER patients who need a bed can't get one. That's not a blip. That's a broken promise - and a health system in crisis. Protect Ontario? Start with the ER. #ONhealth #ONpoli

FORD'S DESTRUCTION OF ONTARIO HEALTH CARE: Patients and staff are being sacrificed for his privatization goal. Ford cut 215 nurses from Ontario hospitals this year. Hamilton Health Sciences plan to cut 413 jobs ..

Local public hospital operating rooms and imaging clinics are sitting unused because they are not given adequate funding. This while private clinics have been added and have not reduced wait times for the majority ottawacitizen.com/news/ottawa-... #onpoli #onhealth

#Covid vaccines will be available in Ontario pharmacies as of Monday. I emailed yesterday to find out when, and they actually answered today! #covid-19 #vaccine #vaccination #onhealth

ONTARIO'S INEFFECTIVE REHAB SYSTEM: “Expecting someone to stabilize in 72 hours and then returning them to the same streets, shelters, and ready access to substances makes an already difficult process considerably harder." #onpoli #onhealth

Ford Conservatives are promoting privatization of our healthcare in Ontario — pouring public money into for-profit private MRI & surgical clinics while our public hospitals sit idle for hours every day. This isn't what they campaigned on. Ontario deserves better. #ONpoli #ONhealth

The Ford government is spending more public money on for-profit, private MRI & surgical clinics, while letting publicly funded facilities sit idle for hours every day, says a new report from @onthealthcoalition.bsky.social www.haltonhillstoday.ca/local-news/h... #onpoli #ONhealth

COVID outbreak risk remains in #ONhealth hospitals without layers of protection.

Universal masking in ALL areas of #Ontario hospitals is essential for safe healthcare access.

Let regional decision-makers know this is a priority.
