Ontario Health Coalition launch visible fightback campaign against health care privatization

The Ontario Health Coalition is asking for urgent help to make a visible fightback to stop health care privatization and to win improved long-term care.

“Get your lawn and window signs out asap to help set the key election issues,” Ontario Health Coalition officials say.

The Doug Ford government has made plans to privatize everything from hospital care to long-term care, home care, vaccines, diagnostic testing, health care planning and more. He is even letting for-profit COVID testing clinics charge patients more than $200 per test, in violation of the Canada Health Act which prohibits charging patients for medically needed services. Despite pretending to improve care and accountability, Ford has actually refused to hold for-profit long-term care corporations accountable for the thousands of their residents that died while they took tens of millions of dollars in profits each month of the pandemic. He is actually rewarding them with expansions, new 30-year licenses and billions more in taxpayers’ money, if we don’t stop him.

We are furious. We cannot look back at this time and think that there was more we could have done. Make it visible! Expose it for all to see. If we are going to protect public health care the public has to know that it is under threat. We need to make our resistance to privatization VISIBLE so that every regular Ontarian understands it is an issue. If we can make a public debate about health care privatization, we will win it. If we do not make it an issue, they will keep privatizing under the radar.
