Ms. Mehra announced that the Health Coalition -- which represents more than ¾ of a million Ontarians, more than 400 member organizations and local chapters across the province -- plans for a major fightback including province-wide townhall meetings, community organizing, protests and escalating actions.
Key Points:
- The Coalition also launched a major public campaign to mobilize Ontarians to save our local public hospitals and stop Fords privatization.
- The Ford government lied to the public leading into an election, said Natalie Mehra, executive director.
- We will fight this and we will not stop until they stop privatizing Ontarians public hospitals, she concluded.
- Private clinics take scarce staff out of our local public hospitals worsening wait times for the public system.
