What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives published a report detailing healthcare funding issues in Ontario. The report found that the province paid $4.1 billion to for-profit surgical and medical imaging centers between 2017 and 2025. The analysis shows that the volume of surgeries in these private centers increased by 117% during that period, compared to a 10% increase in public hospital surgeries.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The report argues that the increasing subsidy of private healthcare businesses does not serve the public interest. The findings suggest that the growth of for-profit services is contributing to longer diagnostic and surgical wait times, contrary to the provincial government's claims.

The Liberal government has faced criticism regarding insufficient hospital funding levels, following a reduction in its federal health care contribution to 22 per cent.
