Premier Doug Ford’s government gives a for-profit clinic more funding to perform certain OHIP-covered surgeries than it gives Ontario’s public hospitals to perform the same operations, CBC News has learned.
I don’t understand how a for-profit clinic is eligible for any goverment funding at all. If its for-profit, surely they can afford to fund themselves and leave the healthcare funding for the free health services.
That’s the model Ford has now - he’s going to pay private hospitals to have surgeries because he says public hospitals are too back-logged to perform them. Why are we back-logged? Because he isn’t hiring enough nurses to staff our hospitals. Get it?
They did the same with nurses
Private nurses in our hospitals were paid twice as much as public ones and it cost us 8x as much because of agency fees
Can anyone point to anything that this government has done that hasn’t been a cynical attempt to steal our hard earned tax dollars and give them to Doug Ford’s wealthy friends? The Wynne government’s bungling of the gas plant seems so quaint now compared to the fuck you level corruption of Ford and his right wing junta
I had a long list of other stuff they’ve done but it was all bad so I wrote this line instead
Buck a beer?
They got rid of licence plate renewal fees. I think that was incredibly stupid. For the record, I didn’t like paying for it, but that was consistent easy money for the government
