Protect Public Healthcare in Mississauga
We know our healthcare system is in crisis but there are solutions that don't involve privatization or jeopardize patient care. The Ford government is ramming through their privatization plans and we need hospital CEOs to speak out against privatization and protect public healthcare.
Whether it's astronomical wait times in emergency rooms, lack of access to a family doctor, or watching a loved one burn out in the healthcare industry — the healthcare crisis has affected every one of us in Ontario.
Say no to Ford's privatization plan!
Why is this important?
Hospital CEOs hold a significant amount of sway with the government — and for the most part they don't hear from the public. Right now, most hospital CEOs haven't rejected Ford's privatization plans. In fact, a couple of them have actually spoken out in support of it. But they haven't heard from the community their hospital serves.
Hospitals are the frontline of the privatization fight, and CEOs hold a significant amount of sway with the government — and for the most part, they don't hear from the public.
If we can flood hospital CEOs with a wave of public pressure from local community members — calling on them to reject Ford's privatization plans — it could be enough for them to speak out against his plans. If the CEOs say no, there will be no one to implement Ford’s privatization.
