Privatizing healthcare harms the middle and lower class for the benefit of a small minority of Canadians

Quite simply, access to healthcare is a human right; thus all people should have free and equal access to it. The privatization of healthcare would result in patients who may not need care as urgently over those in dire need solely due to them possessing greater wealth. The result would be innocent and equally-deserving people suffering and dying because wealthy individuals put their own needs over those of others. Instead of privatizing healthcare, all medical treatments and prescriptions should be free for all Canadians regardless of socio-economic status.
