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."

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.
