NDP health care critic opposes Bill 60 saying it will create a new level of health care for the wealthy at the expense of those who are not wealthy
Despite the NDP suggesting dozens of amendments and changes, the Ontario Government has approved Bill 60, which will allow private clinics to do medical procedures and surgeries. This has left NDP health care critic France Gélinas shaking her head in frustration, despite the government argument that Bill 60 is designed to speed-up health care by taking the pressure off surgical wait times. "That's not what we're talking about.
"We have an orthopedic surgeon right now, who would love to have more OR time so they can do more hips and knees so that the list would go down. But the hospital does not have the money to open up those or to staff them with OR nurses and technicians and lab techs and all of that.” "They always upsell. So you go in for a colonoscopy. They will say the colonoscopy is paid for by OHIP, but you need to talk to our dieticians first. Do you need the dietitian? No, but if you want to have your colonoscopy here, you need to talk to our dieticians first. And it will be $200 to have a consult with the dietician because dieticians are not covered by OHIP."
