Health Coalition Kicks off Campaign to Save Public HospitalsPublic Goods • November 15, 2022 • Ontario Health CoalitionThe Ontario Health Coalition released a brief on October 26 charging that the Doug Ford government lied to the public about its privatization of Ontario’s public hospital services. Launch of CampaignThe Coalition also launched a major public campaign to mobilize Ontarians to save our local public hospitals and stop Ford’s privatization. It was an odd thing to say because the Private Hospitals Act banned private hospitals in Ontario starting 50 years ago – for good reason. The Private Hospitals Act grandfathered-in the existing private hospitals and banned any new ones. Private clinics take scarce staff out of our local public hospitals worsening wait times for the public system.
