Ontario passes health-reform bill that expands private delivery of care
- Thread starter Zeedox
- Start date
Covid has completely gutted the health care industry. Large providers are still making money, but the rank and file who do most of the work walked away because it just isn't worth it.
It has happened everywhere. It is not getting any better.
When a hospital system administrator drives a Bently and your chief nurse drives a 12 year old used Volvo, you have the system upside down.
But that's how everything else works, so why not?
Right?
So that's why they're losing people to private providers: more money.
It's not going to last.
These new private providers will slowly expand, slowly hire everyone left in health care, and over the next 8 to 10 years it'll seem normal.
And once enough time goes by, they'll drop the hammer. They'll jack all the prices and reap the rewards.
And the skeleton that's left of the old system will be powerless to stop them.

They'll be fought tooth and nail for every move to privatize. I expect that provincial government to fall next election - there's been too many election promises broken by the doug ford group.
It's the same in another province out west. I expect the fringe right government to fall since it's a real election not just a take over when the current party leader quit. People voted for the old guy as he was semi-reliable, this current one is just batshit nutters.

You'd better.
Because once it's gone, you will NEVER get it back. And the plan they are executing is very, very plain to see.
Down here, even mentioning just using private healthcare to help offset Covid backlogs meets with resistance.
