Time to make politicians accountable for what they promise Canadians in return for votes, have them sign legal documents containing their promises, and if not fulfilled they are personally liable to be sued by Canadians.

I've had the feeling ford has been busy underfunding health care in order to provide opportunities for his buddies. I've been trying to get referred to a specialist for months, not even asking for a family doctor, just someone to refer me, I keep getting page not found when I try to register online.

Don't give healthcare the funding they need, and when it falls apart say, "see, this is why we need private healthcare."

When you go to private hospital with your OHIP card you will wait year's to get a surgery, But if you're paying from your pocket they give you next week appointment, that's what's coming to Ontario if we don't stop it

Our government is delusional, and needs immediate psychiatric help.

Unfortunately the more they let this happen the more doctors will only work private

I care that private health care will cost me more than I have. Already my new doctor, straight out of school, has a list of 22 medical procedures that we are to pay for. Backwards is not the way Canadians can afford or will support.

Why our politicians are trying to make Canada USA number 2 or better yet, why isn't Trudeau doing anything or addressing it?

Doug Ford step down. You are ruining Ontario.

If you look they will be paying the private clinics MORE than the hospitals for providing the same surgery. This is not fair to the hospitals. They should be payed the same for the same procedure. How is that fiscally responsible to pay private more. How does that end up saving money? It doesn't. It's who pays him to run. Just like the green belt and private LTC that donated to his campaign

It sounds to me like private care will be for those that can afford it.

I welcome a change. Whatever we have now sucks.

So infuriating.
Private won't have the Ontario funding to run.
The costs back to ohip will be more shifting that burden of the tax payers.
Doctors income will also shift.
Doug Ford refused to allow osap funding for the medical staff we needed capping internships forcing some to leave Canada to complete their education.
We don't have enough GP
We don't have enough Specialist.
We need Nurses, radiology technicians and radiologist.
I've waited 2 years for an ultrasound. My daughter is registered with 4 hospitals since August to confirm cancer diagnosis.
I don't want some provincial reject cutting on me after bouncing from another province or state.
He is shifting the problem as usual. He has no idea the cost or regulations required.
