If per say someone only makes enough money in their job to provide food for their families and doesn’t have enough money to pay for healthcare, it wouldn’t be fair for them as they might only be able to take on that one job.

Once immigrants receive their citizenship, or even before that since they are on Canadian soil, they should have access to this healthcare as the law covers everything on Canadian soil.

When everybody is healthy, everybody can contribute to society in a more productive way. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege and everybody should be entitled to the same quality healthcare regardless of their status.

Say you're working to help provide for a family that is either underage, or unable to help contribute due to reasonable cause. It shouldn't be fair to make individuals pay for their health.

Prime examples come from the States with stories of families and individuals who have found their worlds turned around based on injuries or illness that can then consume their life and their budget, significantly changing their lifestyle and needing push themselves into further debt, without much in the way of pushing an economy.

Evident through the circumstances occurring post-covid, Healthcare accessibility is a concern and due to the deficiency in healthcare workers, Canadians are struggling to access healthcare services and appointments adequately. Healthcare workers are under pressure, thus resulting in degrading quality. Public Healthcare has its many problems that require attention and therefore, Healthcare Privatization is of lesser priority.

For-profit healthcare has been proven to cost more while providing poor quality of care. A portion of money spent on for-profit clinics must got to shareholders, and clinics may cut back on services, quality checks, and equipment to save money and increase profits

Current Crisis Statistics:
- Ontario spends only $5,000 per capita on healthcare vs. $7,000+ in other provinces
- Nurse-to-patient ratios have dropped 20% since 2010
- Average ER wait times increased from 1.6 hours in 2015 to 4.7 hours in 2024
- 15% of Ontarians lack a family doctor
Investment Solution Impact:
1. Public Funding & Worker Support
- Raising nurse wages 20% would cost $2.1B annually - less than 2% of Ontario's budget
- Every $1B in healthcare spending creates ~12,000 direct healthcare jobs
- Improved working conditions reduce turnover (currently 14.6% annually)
