This petition is entitled “Stop Ford’s Health Care Privatization Plan.
“To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
“Whereas Ontarians should get health care based on need—not the size of your wallet;
“Whereas” the Premier and health minister “say they’re planning to privatize parts of health care;
“Whereas privatization will bleed nurses, doctors and PSWs out of our public hospitals, making the health care crisis worse;
“Whereas privatization always ends with patients getting a bill;
“Therefore we, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to immediately stop all plans to further privatize Ontario’s health care system, and fix the crisis in health care by:
“—repealing Bill 124...;
“—licensing tens of thousands of internationally educated nurses and other health care professionals...;
“—making education and training free or low-cost for nurses, doctors and other health care professionals....”
I fully support this petition. I will affix my signature and pass it to page Norah.
