Marilyn Corbett has a deep and personal connection to Ontario\u2019s health-care system.<\/p>\n

The Utopia resident\u2019s husband was treated for cancer at Barrie\u2019s Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre<\/a> (RVH) before he died in 2015. And there are several nurses in her family.<\/p>\n

That reliance on public health care by Corbett and her family members is why she\u2019s choosing to participate in the Ontario Health Coalition<\/a>\u2019s provincewide referendum on the privatization of core hospital services. On May 26 and 27, the coalition\u2019s nearly 500 affiliated organizations will set up more than 1,000 voting stations across Ontario.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

In the Barrie area, the Simcoe County Health Coalition<\/a> is taking the lead, and members launched their local awareness campaign outside RVH on April 18.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic health care\u2019s very important to me,\u201d said Corbett, a high school teacher who was bundled in a tuque and gloves and carrying a sign. \u201cIt\u2019s something we all need to be fighting for. RVH is important to me because they looked after my husband. Health care is something we all need. It should be public. It shouldn\u2019t be like the (United) States, where people are bankrupted because they need treatment. Everything doesn\u2019t have to be monetized.\u201d<\/p>\n

About 15 people participated in the RVH launch, though they were joined by hundreds of others at locations throughout Ontario.<\/p>\n

During the referendum, stations will be set up outside grocery and corner stores, coffee shops, community centres and Royal Canadian Legion branches. Leading in, throughout the month of May, some workplaces will host voting and an online option will be available at publichospitalvote.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe all have personal stories about why we have decided to join together for this cause,\u201d nurse and Simcoe County coalition co-chair Anisa Carrascal said. \u201cIn 12 years of practice in the health-care system, I have seen nurse-to-patient ratios grow to unattainable numbers. I have seen my co-workers get injured or burnt out and leave the profession in droves. The result of chronic underfunding is severe understaffing that makes working conditions unsafe and lowers the quality of care for patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carrascal warns against two-tier health care, a system in place in her native country of Peru, which she notes has one of the highest COVID-19 death rates in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I have seen many of my compatriots die because they couldn’t afford to pay the exorbitant costs of a bed in a private clinic or (for) an oxygen tank,” she said. “That is what a two-tiered system really looks like. When you need health care the most, you’re out of luck if you don’t have the big bank account.”<\/p>\n

In mid-January, Ontario unveiled plans to expand<\/a> the number of surgeries that can be done through privately operated community surgical and diagnostic centres.<\/p>\n

The government said this decision is necessary to reduce wait times and eliminate the surgical backlog of about 206,000 Ontarians \u2014 that number was roughly 200,000 prior to the pandemic \u2014 and it pledged to \u201cprotect the stability\u201d of health human resources at public hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to your health, the status quo is no longer acceptable,\u201d Premier Doug Ford said in a statement released at the time. \u201cOur government is taking bold action to reduce wait times for surgeries, all while ensuring Ontarians use their OHIP card to get the care they need, never their credit card.\u201d<\/p>\n

This plan also lets hospitals focus effort and resources on more complex and high-risk surgeries, he said.<\/p>\n
