The authors appear to fail to understand the extent of restructuring in the 1990s, and they draw no lessons from it. Similarly their analysis of health care privatization is perfunctory and incomplete. There is no costing of the recommendations, and while the report is ostensibly about containing health costs, a number of the recommendations would likely increase expenditures. TD\u2019s support of profit-driven health care is not a solution. It is not an amelioration of the public health system. It is fundamentally incompatible with the principles of equity and universality in Canada Health Act. It would undermine and dismantle efforts to create an effective health system that is organized to meet human need for care.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/EXECUTIVE-SUMMARY-September-22-2010.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here for Executive Summary<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FULL-REPORT-September-22-2010.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here for Full Report<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(September 22, 2010) The Ontario Health Coalition\u2019s critical review of the findings of the Ontario government commissioned TD Economics report on health spending finds that the TD report is rife with inaccuracies and contradictions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ontario-budgets","category-ontario-budgets-reports-analysis"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
