<div dir="auto">I just signed this petition as I am worried
that no matter how many promises are made that the private
treatments will be covered by OHIP, I believe down the road
more and more won’t be covered by OHIP. We already have a
bit of a 2 tiered health system- those willing to pay out of
pocket can get treatment faster. We can’t let private health
care sneak in through Ford’s back door and slowly become the
norm. Anyway, I would love to hear the thoughts on this from
members of the Sunday community who are closely involved in
health care.</div>

<br>
I just signed the petition: Don’t privatize Ontario’s
surgeries. Protect public health care.<br>
<br>
It would mean a lot to me if you took a moment to add
your name because:<br>
<br>
Ford just announced he's directing public money toward
private surgery clinics. This means that a number of
OHIP-funded procedures will be moved out of public
hospitals into for-profit facilities. [1]<br>
<br>
Ford's actions are only worsening the healthcare crisis.
He ignored health care workers, capped public servants'
wages, failed to implement paid sick days, and started
privatizing more services — with devastating
consequences. [2-4] He's underspent on healthcare by a
whopping $900 million and today's announcement will only
divert more resources away from an already underfunded
healthcare system in crisis. [5,6]<br>
<br>
Doctors and major healthcare unions are ringing the
alarm bells about the adverse effects this move will
have on our public healthcare system — warning us all
that this will hurt access to health care and the
services we receive. [7,8]<br>
<br>
If we can tap into the outrage and get loud and
organized right now against Ford's dangerous move
towards privatizing health care, it could force him to
backtrack. Add your name demanding that the Ford
government doesn't direct public money to private
surgery clinics.<br>
