Some Ontario patients continue to face fees as Ontario misses federal deadline for nurse practitioner funding | CBC News Ontario will not have a policy in place to publicly fund all medically necessary services from nurse practitioners by April 1, as ordered by the federal government, leaving some patients paying out of...

Why is our Health Minister Sylvia Jones missing the April 1st deadline and with that allowing some nurse practitioners to charge patients fees for primary care? Years ago she was pushing the federal government to close that loophole. Why are we not ready? #OntarioHealth

We know what works.
We know what saves lives.
And we know that cutting services during a public health crisis will cost lives.

5/5 This is a Canadian national conversation that needs to happen with the facts, objectively and openly. Thoughtful engagement sharpens the work. We're worth it.

Serious feedback, ideas, questions, and challenges welcome.

Ontario has the fewest hospital beds per person of any province in Canada.

Ontario funds its hospitals at the lowest rate per person of all the provinces.

We deserve better.

🇨🇦 THE HUNGER GAMES OF ONTARIO DOCTOR RECRUITMENT 🇨🇦

Niagara Falls offers a $100K signing bonus. A short drive away, St. Catharines offers just $5K.

As the doctor shortage bites, municipalities are shelling out cash in a bidding war.

Omg, a nurse is coming to my home to show me how to hook myself up to the IV antibiotics. So I don’t have to keep going to the hospital daily. Sooo excited!

Week 7 update: the infection spread to my bones, so this may take weeks of IV’s then months of oral antibiotics.

🇨🇦 WHY YOU CAN'T FIND A DOCTOR IN ONTARIO 🇨🇦

The Auditor General's report misses the crucial truth: Ontario has more family doctors than ever, but they are fleeing comprehensive care.

👉 It is a crisis of retention, not recruitment. 👈

🇨🇦 🚨 AUDITOR GENERAL: ONTARIO NOT AUDITING DOCTORS 🚨 🇨🇦

👉 82 doctors claimed they worked more than 24 hours a day.

👉 One radiologist billed for 461 patients daily.

The red flags are screaming, but the #Auditor-General says #Ontario isn't auditing.

Last year, I had biopsies on two small growths on my face. I had to pay for them, but there was a refund if they turned out to be cancerous. Of course I paid.
This is upside down policy. If you’re poor, it’s an obstacle so we add a barrier to health for you.
