Canada Health Act Principles <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The 1984 Canada Health Act<\/a> <\/span>is rooted in the core principles of equity and compassion. Its primary objective is \u201cto protect, promote, and restore the physical and mental well-being of residents of Canada and to facilitate reasonable access to health services without financial or other barriers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Canada Health Act is like a bill of rights for patients. It requires needed health care to be provided without user fees and extra-billing of patients \u2013 needed hospital & physician care must be covered by OHIP. Our hospitals are public and non-profit. They are run in the public interest. Governments have been handing over more services to private for-profit clinics in recent years. Now, the Ford government has announced their intent to bring in new private hospitals.<\/p>\n

Privatization threatens these foundational principles of our public health care system.<\/p>\n

Five Facts<\/strong><\/a><\/span> About Two-Tier Medicare<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Private clinics increase wait times for the 99%.<\/li>\n
  2. Private clinics provide an inferior quality of care.<\/li>\n
  3. Private hospitals are less efficient.<\/li>\n
  4. Public-Private-Partnerships cost more, deliver less.<\/li>\n
  5. Patients are subject to pay more through taxes and out-of-pocket.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What\u2019s Wrong with Private Clinics <\/strong>& Two-Tier Medicare?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    It is a system for the rich. It widens the gap between the 1% and 99%. People who can afford to pay to jump the queue, even when they have less need or no medical need & are buying unnecessary care, pushing back others with greater need<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

    Profit is valued<\/a> <\/span>over patient health, care & outcomes.<\/p>\n

    It drives up costs. Prices for private two-tier care are often double, triple, even 5x the cost under OHIP.<\/p>\n

    Two-tier Medicare violates the Canada Health Act<\/a><\/span>, which protects patients from financial harm when they are sick, elderly, and least able to pay.<\/p>\n

    Private clinics also use manipulative tactics to find loopholes<\/a> <\/span>in the Canada Health Act to charge patients for medically unnecessary care.<\/p>\n

    Two-tier Medicare takes needed financial and human resources out of our public hospitals into the private clinics & hospitals that treat only the light care. \u201cProfitable\u201d patients, leaving heavier care patients behind with less staff and funding to care for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    \n

    COMPARISON OF PRICES: Private Clinics vs. OHIP \u2013 publicly covered services<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    Canada’s private clinics offer cataract surgeries, MRI\/CT scans, colonoscopy\/endoscopy procedures, and \u2018boutique\u2019 physician clinics. In 2017 the Health Coalition investigated 136 private clinics in 9 provinces and found 88 clinics in 6 provinces<\/a> <\/span>to have been charging patients extra user fees and medically necessary services, even in violation of Canada\u2019s public Medicare laws. The prices are exorbitant. Here is a sampling:<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)<\/td>\n <\/p>\n

    Private: $1000 per scan<\/p>\n

    Public: $0 for patients with a requisition<\/a> <\/span>signed by a certified CPSO physician<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Surgical\/Colonoscopy\/Endoscopy Procedures<\/td>\n <\/p>\n

    Private: Charge \u201cblock fees\u201d<\/a>,<\/span><\/span> administrative fees, and extra user-fees<\/p>\n

    Cancer Care Treatment<\/p>\n

     <\/td>\n

    		 <\/p>\n

    Private: $500 more per procedure<\/a><\/span> than Ontario\u2019s public cancer treatment centres<\/p>\n
