On the contrary, it moves forward like a freight train, coming at us slowly but relentlessly, much of it under cover of darkness.<\/p>\n<p>Among the premier&#8217;s sweeping cutbacks \u2014 aimed at reducing the deficit without tapping the corporate elite for more tax revenues \u2014 are a dizzying array of cuts to our public health-care system, the crown jewel of our social programs.<\/p>\n<p>These cuts, totalling about $360 million, will affect everything from mental health care to cancer screening, according to Natalie Mehra, head of the Ontario Health Coalition.<\/p>\n<p>Their impact will likely be profound, since Ontario&#8217;s health-care spending is already well below the Canadian average, even though Ontario is one of the richest provinces.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Ontario&#8217;s health-care spending is only $3,903 per person \u2014 the lowest of the 10 provinces \u2014 and $487 per person lower than the Canadian average, according to Ontario&#8217;s Financial Accountability Office.<\/p>\n<p>Even more damaging may be the Ford government&#8217;s embrace of further privatization, evident in recent legislation creating a health superagency with vast new privatization powers.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s quickly clarify that there are no savings to be had from such privatization. Quite the contrary.<\/p>\n<p>While government spending on the public portion of health care \u2014 doctors and hospitals \u2014 has held steady at about 4 per cent of GDP for the past 40 years, the costs of the private parts of the system \u2014 drugs, physiotherapy, dentistry, home care, etc. \u2014 have risen dramatically.<\/p>\n<p>But Ford seems less concerned about controlling health costs than about pleasing business interests, which have long pushed to open our health-care system to more privatization, so they can get in on the spectacular profits reaped in private health care south of the border.<\/p>\n<p>The premier&#8217;s support for privatized health care adds new impetus to the well-funded, pro-privatization campaign already well underway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"thirdPrg\">The public face of this campaign has been B.C. medical entrepreneur Dr. Brian Day, who has spearheaded a 10-year legal battle to strike down Canadian medicare laws restricting private surgical clinics from collecting money through the public system while also charging patients hefty additional fees.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the scenes, Day has had ample financial support from private interests who recognize that his victory would open the floodgates to private medicine in Canada. &#8220;If he wins, you can kiss goodbye to medicare as we know it,&#8221; says Colleen Fuller, a health policy researcher affiliated with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>Astonishingly, much of this anti-medicare campaign appears to have been waged with tax-deductible dollars. A massive $5-million war chest to support Day&#8217;s legal challenge has been amassed by the Canadian Constitutional Foundation (CCF), a right-wing, Calgary-based organization \u2014 with charitable status.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a pro-medicare group called Canadian Doctors for Medicare is denied charitable status in Canada, on the grounds that it&#8217;s an advocacy group. So, while you can get a tax deduction for a donation to fight medicare, you can&#8217;t get one for a donation to save medicare. Ironic, since most Canadians revere medicare.<\/p>\n<p>Far from the boos that greeted him at Nathan Phillips Square, Ford has now moved to the backrooms where he&#8217;s quietly helping financial interests, domestic and foreign, get a chunk of our crown jewel.<\/p>\n<p><a
