THOUSANDS out to stop Doug Ford's hospital privatization today! Resounding success, Ontario Health Coalition! 😄 🤩 #Peopleoverprofit #Privatization #Stop2tierford #AccessibleHealthcare

Dr. Monika Dutt explains why Alberta’s health care legislation matters for ALL of us. #Cdnhealth #cdnpoli #abpoli #healthpolicy

CANADIANS: Is it too late to stop the privatization of our universal healthcare? 🤔 Good question! Check out his answer… 😧 #Peopleoverprofit #OntarioHealthCare #Privatization #TwoTierSystem #onpoli

When we treat healthcare like a product rather than a human right, profit-making will always come before people’s needs. THIS IS NOT OKAY! 😨 😠 #HealthcareIsAHumanRight #PeopleOverProfit #HealthEquityNow #DemandChange

Public service vs. private business = health care need vs. corporate profit. This is a no-brainer!! 🤔 #Peopleoverprofit #AccessibleHealthcare #HealthEquity #PatientRights #MedicalNeed

For nursing grads entering the workforce: hospital privatization is making working conditions worse, not better. Our system isn't just understaffed. It's being dismantled by privatization. 😠 Thanks to the Ontario Health Coalition for this video. #onpoli #healthcare #nursing #privatization

The Cost of Private Health Care: is it more than you realize? #PrivateHealthCare #HealthcareCosts #HealthInsurance #MedicalExpenses 😨

A shortage of beds throughout Ontario’s hospitals delays wait times and strains care. ☹️ Dr. Alan Drummond speaks to why addressing Ontario’s hospital bed shortage needs urgent attention. 😦 #ontariohealth #health #crowding #hospital #emergencycare

Dr. Danyaal Raza supports universal pharmacare for Ontarians. 😀 Wish all physicians were this invested in their patients! 🤨 #medicare #healthcareforall #canada #pharmacare

The push for health care privatization is built on a false narrative that ignores the data. It drains resources away from public hospitals and isn't a cure for staffing shortages. – Ontario Health Coalition 😠 #onpoli #healthcare #nursing #privatization

"What is the longest you've ever had to wait for a doctor's appointment?" The OMA tells it like it is! Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones are you hearing this?! 😠 #medicine #doctors #health #fypp #viral

Privatization makes wait times worse. It just allows the wealthy few to jump the queue, pushing everyone else with greater needs further back. 😠 ~ Ontario Health Coalition #onpoli #healthcare #nursing #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #abpoli #cdnpoli #privatization

Dr. Danyaal Raza makes a compelling case that private healthcare spending is what’s driving rising healthcare costs. 😦👨‍⚕️ #UniversalHealthcare #SinglePayerSystem #HealthcareForAll #PublicVsPrivate #InvestInHealth

"At the end of the day, Doug Ford’s FOI changes are all about hiding his cell phone records from the people of Ontario and rewriting the rules to protect himself. What is he hiding — and why is he working so hard to keep it a secret?" - Marit Stiles, leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party ☹️

WHO RUNS ALBERTA HEALTH CARE? Jason MacLean, Chairperson of the Canadian Health Coalition, spoke about the level of access private insurance lobbyists had in the drafting of Alberta's two-tier health care legislation, also known as Bill 11. Scary stuff! 😱 #Canada #Alberta #Cdnpoli #fyp

Sad that Tim Louis and Bardish Chagger declined to participate in support of the Canada Health Act. Let's try again for April 25th! In the meantime, enjoy this video from our Day of Action and stay strong for publicly funded health care! 😊

Is this the Ford government’s way of silencing their critics? The Ontario Health Coalition often uses FOI findings to push for greater transparency and to fight against the expansion of for-profit, private clinics in Ontario. Undemocratic and indefensible! ☹️😞 #TransparencyMatters #DefendDemocracy

“Medicare is not just a policy. Medicare is a promise.” @mark-carney.bsky.social and Marjorie Michel, keep that promise! Enforce the Canada Health Act! 🤨 🙄 #Peopleoverprofit #HealthForAll #HealthEquity #AccessToCare

Paying for healthcare. “Low taxes and more money for the 1% don’t make life more affordable. They make it disposable.” ~ Danyaal Raza, MD 🤔 #healthcare #Canada #medicare #taxes

Patients are NOT a revenue source, Alberta! 😨 #PeopleOverProfit #Stop2tierford #HealthForAll #Privatization

Worth saving! Preserve public hospitals. 😊😊 #PeopleOverProfit #Stop2tierford #HealthForAll #Privatization

Privatization is NOT about wait times. It’s about dismantling public medicare! 😠😠 #PeopleOverProfit #Stop2tierford #HealthForAll #Privatization

Privatization is not the solution. It makes wait lists longer and allows queue-jumping for the few who can afford it. 😟 #onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #healthcare #hospital #nursing #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #ontario #alberta #canada #fyp

A direct assault on the Canadian Health Act! Natalie Mehra speaks on behalf of the Ontario Health Coalition. 😟 #onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #daniellesmith #healthcare

Dr. Rubin, MD: President Trump spreads lies about vaccines! #vaccine #trump #tiktokdoc 😨 😢

Family Doctor Fix Part 3: Private Clinics? Danyaal Raza was recruited to join a private health centre as a doctor. Here is why he said NO. 😊 👍 #Peopleoverprofit #UniversalHealthcare #SolidarityInCare #AccessToCare #PublicHealthMatters #ProtectPrimaryCare

More than half of Ontario doctors are nearing retirement, while fewer medical students plan to practice family medicine. These trends put added pressure on a system already stretched. We need action now! ~ OMA: Ontario’s Doctors 😧 #familydoctor #health #healthcare #retirement

Healthcare For Real 🇨🇦 Every holiday season, ERs get packed. Why? Check this out! #HolidayHealth #EmergencyRoomRush #StaySafeThisSeason

Yes, there is a physician shortage and we need outside help! 👍 Healthcare For Real by the CMA #PhysicianShortage #InternationallyTrainedDoctors #HealthcareHelp

IN WHAT WORLD IS THIS FAIR? 😢 From the OMA: Across Ontario, physicians are performing complex, high-stakes procedures and facing delayed, denied, or rejected OHIP claims. This hurts patients, doctors, and the system. 😠 #ontariohealth #ontariodoctors #health

Privatization makes wait times worse! 😧 #healthcare #onpoli #ontario #dougford #fyp #explore #trending

Privatization is a political choice, not a necessity 😠 #fyp #healthcare #onpoli #dougford #ontario #privatization #explore #trending #viral

Privatization takes away from public hospitals! 😠 #healthcare #dougford #onpoli #ontario#privatization #fyp #explore #trending #viral #surgery

The Ford gov't is privatizing our public health care and it is false to claim they are not! 😟 #healthcare #dougford #onpoli #ontario #fyp #explore #privatization #trending #viral

Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones are failing to properly fund primary care in Ontario. This isn’t hype — it’s a scheme. And it’s working. 😧 #health #ruralhealthcare #onhealth #familydoctor #emergencymedicine #Peopleoverprofit #privatized

Mark your calendars! Oct. 29 will be the day when the Ford government learns exactly how we feel about for-profit private clinics!!😠

Devastating our public health care - all in the name of profit! 😠 #PublicHealthCrisis #HealthcareForProfit #FightForHealthEquity #SaveOurHealthcare

If you are not concerned about losing public health care, YOU SHOULD BE! Join the Ontario Health Coalition! 😀
