Hey Ontario...
👉​ "The private healthcare sector is designed to deny care. Its first duty is to its shareholders, not its patients, and every dollar spent on care is a dollar not available for dividends."

Hey #Ontario..
New data shows for-profit clinics are charging significantly more for surgeries.
1.Cataract surgery costs an average of $800 at a public hospital but almost $1,200 at a for-profit clinic.
2. Hip and knee replacement costs anywhere from $10,000 to $12,000 at a public hospital but as much as $28,000 at a for-profit clinic.
CityNews contacted Sylvia Jones, Ontario’s Minister of Health, for comment but has not received a response.

"Doug Ford's #Conservative government has simply decided it's bad politics to share bad news...
and once a government realizes that it can just NOT talk about things that make it look bad...
and it certainly seems the #Ontario govt has realized exactly that...
we are in a bad way, friends."

@gemelliz @mattgurney I don't believe she has a choice. Not responding is dereliction of duty. Given the right levers are pulled, she could be walked off government property if she doesn't do her job. She works for the public. Part of her job is responding to the public.
People need to understand that these politicians don't live in an f-ing castle with a moat around them. Get in their faces. They can't just hide. It's a good thing I live several provinces over.
