MODERATORS
There aren't enough healthcare workers to meet the demand. Around 15% of Ontarians do not have a family doctor and use emergency rooms for their primary care. Emergency room wait times have become excessive with some hospitals reporting 20 hour wait times. Around 48% of nurses have reported they are considering switching careers, mostly citing excessive work hours and little pay to show for it. Ontario is the most populated province but spends the least on healthcare per capita.
