Congratulations to board member Jarol Boan on her successful book launch! The Medicine Chest: A Physician’s Journey towards Reconciliation speaks about the failures of our health care system in First Nations and Métis communities, and Dr. Boan's experiences in Saskatchewan.
Latest from @DrGorfinkel @SteveUBC on why the $1.5B over 5 years is insufficient for #Pharmacare "The problem? Canadians spend $3 billion in just one year on contraception and diabetes treatments" thestar.com/opinion/contri…
Great work from our friends @OntarioHealthC uncovering many instances of out-of-pocket billing at for-profit surgical clinics. These practices need to stop. globalnews.ca/news/10427466/…
André Picard chronicles and critiques the Canada Health Act at 40 years. A landmark 1984 achievement by Canada and source of national pride. A must read article. In revisiting its terms we may agree it remains sound, but we must revisit it all the same. @picardonhealth - 1/2
"Private equity ownership turns health care from a social good into a financial asset, extracting wealth for investors. There is no evidence that private equity ownership leads to systematic improvements in care." from CDM's @DanyaalRaza @karenpalmeryvr thestar.com/opinion/contri…
"Accountability" in @fordnation’s Ontario. #LTC profiteers, whose neglect in COVID led Ont to call in the military, are handed more of our tax dollars --but now "shielded from risks, liabilities and responsibilities" #crimepays thestar.com/business/opini… 🙏@ArmineYalnizyan
It's time to bring these clinics into Medicare. There's no doubt that these clinics are inconsistent with the fundamental premise of medicare -- access based on need, not ability to pay.

The latest from @a_longhurst & @DrGorfinkel Private for-profit facilities cost us more for the same care thestar.com/opinion/contri…
Today is the International Day to End Racial Discrimination. To address racial injustice Ontario must extend public health coverage to all regardless of their immigration status. Jose is an undocumented construction worker. This is his story. Share it widely #Healthcare4All
"The investigation revealed an industry that places a premium on cost cutting and big profits, with low staffing and poor quality, often to the detriment of patient well-being." A cautionary tale on the profitization of health care. #cdnhealth theconversation.com/profits-over-p…
Thank you to @markhollandlib for meeting with us today to discuss #pharmacare and our concerns around interprovincial surgeries and private equity ownership of health facilities. Glad to hear we share the same thoughts! We look forward to this partnership!
The pharmacare announced by @markhollandlib and @theJagmeetSingh on Feb. 29 is a good start toward safe guarding the health of Canadians and Quebecers, our health care system. More info on how it’s going to take shape is required. healthcoalition.ca/where-are-the-…
Unsurprising results and consistent with what we've already seen happen when health care services are outsourced to the private sector. #ableg #cdnhealth

Saturday | 10:25 PT We’ve got Pharmacare legislation! We speak with@nikbarryshaw of @CanadiansOrg about this major win! What it means, and the imperative to fight to expand it. @HealthCoalition @CdnDrs4Medicare #canpoli @FriendsMedicare
Canada remains the only country with a universal health care system that doesn't have universal coverage of prescription drugs. This is a great first step towards single-payer #pharmacare and we hope to see its continued expansion! cbc.ca/news/politics/…
It is a historic day in Canada for healthcare policy because of new legislation for single-payer coverage for diabetes meds & devices, and contraception. I'm proud of the team at @CdnDrs4Medicare for years of work on this, including this op-ed I co-wrote. thestar.com/opinion/contri…
“To claim that all Albertans have access to drug coverage because they can buy a benefit plan if they can afford one is intentionally misleading & beyond offensive,” said FOM ED Chris Gallaway. 17% of Albertans have NO drug coverage. We need Pharmacare! edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…

Why these doctors support Doug Ford's plan for private clinics to do OHIP-covered surgeries & scans I'll be chatting about this on your local @cbcradio morning show 7:40 @CBCOntMorning 7:50 @MorningNorth 8:10 @metromorning cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
Thrilled to speak at @HealthCoalition's Health & Hope Conference alongside esteemed panelists Dr. Pat Armstrong and @MA_Gagnon
Had a productive conversation with Dr. Brandon Doucet about the Canadian Dental Care Plan. As president of the @for_dentalcare he has been a driving force for public dental care. The CDCP would not exist without the work and vision he has provided. Thank you Brandon!
