The Ontario Health Coalition is becoming increasingly worried about the Ford government\u2019s plan to privatize health care in the province.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the health minister and Premier Doug Ford made comments about \u2018exploring all options\u2019 to fix the health care crisis the coalition is once again raising the alarm.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not, under our watch, allow them to privatize the public hospital system in Ontario,\u201d said Natalie Mehra, Executive Director of the Ontario Health Coalition. \u201cWe want a list, we want to know who they are meeting with, it\u2019s in the public interested that there be full disclosure about this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mehra is calling on the government to disclose all services that are being examined for privatization.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want a public process. We want to force the process out into the open so that it doesn\u2019t happen behind closed doors before anyone can stop it,\u201d said Mehra.<\/span><\/p>\n

The coalition warns privatization will only cause further strife for publicly funded hospitals by stripping them of much-needed staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTaking staff out of our public hospitals to serve private clinics that have a business model that is about cherry picking the profitable patients and leaving the expensive patients behind with less staff and less resources to serve them is an absolutely reckless and asinine idea,\u201d said Mehra.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ontario Health Coalition indicated they will be gathering support from unions and other health advocacy groups to stand up against privatization in Ontario.<\/span><\/p>\n
