Opinion: Doug Ford’s health-care cuts risk lives of society’s most vulnerable. The Ford government is playing with people’s lives in cutting a small program with a huge impact. No one should choose between health care and rent.
A 6-year-old child ends up in the emergency room with meningitis, following days of concern by her parents about her fever and rash. A pregnant woman avoids seeing a health provider until she goes into labour, all the while worrying that she is risking her life and that of her baby. A young man falls off a roof while doing repairs, but bears the pain and waits to seek care until his injured leg becomes infected.
Unfortunately, Canada has a history of denying health care to people on the basis of immigration status. In Ontario, this has historically included new immigrants, returning Canadian citizens, temporary foreign workers working part-time or between work contracts, international students who don’t have insurance through schools, and people who are undocumented.
Our world changed overnight, and many suffered as a result but his policy change — ensuring health-care access for all people living and working in Ontario — offered hope.
