URGENT: Ford’s cabinet is meeting TODAY to try and implement key pieces of his healthcare privatization plan.[1]

Rather than strengthening our public system in consultation with doctors, nurses, patients, and the public, Ford’s caving to the corporate lobbyists that have been gunning for this for decades — trying to dismantle our public system and ram through for-profit care with zero consultation.[2]

But a last minute flood of messages to key cabinet ministers right before their cabinet meeting could convince them to speak up and pressure Ford to hit the brakes. And with the meeting happening today we have to act fast.

Will you email Ministers now to stop Ford from bulldozing ahead with for-profit healthcare today?

Dear Honorable Ministers and staff,

I'm very concerned that this government is opening the door to private, for-profit healthcare delivery in Ontario, and that it’s bulldozing ahead with the creation of the Super Agency.

Doctors, nurses, patients and the public haven’t been consulted on this new healthcare plan - but this government is already making decisions and starting to implement it.

How can this government know what changes to make if they haven’t even talked to the people who will actually be affected?

The evidence is clear - for-profit healthcare leads to worse health outcomes, slower delivery -- and 90% of Canadians don’t want it in our public system.

I’m calling on you to do what’s in your power to hit the brakes on Ford’s drastic, undemocratic plan to change how healthcare works in this province. When you respond to my email, you will commit to opposing any private, for-profit healthcare, and that no changes will be made without rigorous and meaningful public consultation?

Sincerely,

Send to

Ford's cabinet ministers and chiefs of staff
