The Canada Health Act is very clear: health care providers cannot engage in extra billing or charge for medically necessary services, but we are seeing evidence every day that patients need to pay to gain access to primary care services. This shouldn’t be happening.

For-profit clinics are pulling doctors and nurses out of our public health care system. Not only do [these user fees] go against our values, but they are illegal. - Dr. Edward Xie, Canadian Doctors for Medicare Board of Directors

Ontario is desperate for more nurses — but its red tape is forcing qualified ones to leave for other provinces. Internationally educated nurses who are already here find credential assessment and other bureaucracy is preventing them from working. trib.al/t6FReks

It took me a year to get this data because Shoppers Drug Mart didn’t want it public. It reveals Ontario taxpayers footed a $61M bill for more than 1.2 million meds checks done by Shoppers over 14 months, via Toronto Star: thestar.com/business/shopp…

$9.2 billion spent on private staffing agencies over 10 years could have substantially increased wages and added supports like on-site childcare. Instead, wages fell by 13% in real terms, while agencies charged up to 300% of salary. policyalternatives.ca/news-research/…

Yesterday, Ontarians from towns where local #hospitals are being closed down went to Queen’s Park to ask the Ford govt to stop closing their hospitals and to provide the resources needed for the overcrowded remaining hospitals. 🧵⬇️ #onpoli #healthcare
