All part of the plan to make it look like we need private healthcare in Ontario.

Never forget that Doug Ford underspent during the pandemic, when doctors and other frontline workers were begging for support.

edit: spelling

It's wild when you see the actual cost per person, and the compare that to the US systems cost per person ( $12,000), and still somehow see people here arguing for a for profit system.

If we doubled our healthcare payments per person, something tells me we would have much better service and outcomes than we currently do, and still be below the US system on a per capita basis. Wild.

Con 101, under fund, discredit, privatize.

They are a social cancer.

Not saying the libs did much to increase spending.

Doug belongs in jail

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Ontario's health care spending was the lowest in Canada per capita and below the average of other provinces in the 2022-2023 fiscal year, according to a new report by a government watchdog.

Ontario Liberal MPP Adil Shamji said in an email on Wednesday said the report shows that the province is failing residents.

"Amidst a crisis, it is completely unacceptable for Canada's largest province to have the lowest per-capita healthcare funding, especially when 2.3 million people don't have a family doctor and emergency rooms are closing every week," Shamji said.

"Under Doug Ford, Ontario has seen the worst healthcare system performance in our province's history, and along with rampant mismanagement, this is an important reason why."

"Despite having one of the highest budget deficits on record, the Ford government has repeatedly failed to put forward solutions that make Ontarians' lives easier and more affordable," Schreiner said.

The report also notes that Ontario received $1,984 per capita in federal transfers in 2022-2023, the lowest among the provinces and $1,927, or 49.3 per cent, below the rest of Canada average.

It shows.

Can I get an "exempt from government health care" tax credit? Cut up my OHIP card and put a DNR tattoo on my chest. I could use the money for groceries.
