Krankenhäuser in Ontario kündigen Stellenstreichungen an, da fast drei Viertel versuchen, aus finanziellen Schwierigkeiten herauszukommen

Come west, where there are still jobs, ratios are up & running & the wages/benefits are only getting better. I’m so sorry this is happening to ON healthcare.

Like a lot of professionals I have fled to the United States.

I use my employer provide health insurance as a matter of routine now. Although there was a time when, if I was on the lower end of the income spectrum, I probably would have preferred my provincial coverage those days are long gone. 

At this point there is almost no scenario where I would not prefer to be in the States particularly if that state has expanded Medicare. It is unbelievably how comparatively fast people here (US)  on their free government plan get treated and all of the ancillary services like free air conditioners during summer etc.

Just saw another article about how we (Canada) are losing young professionals at an unprecedented rate. The road we are on is not sustainable.

Sure would have been nice if Ford took the money from that $200 handout he gave last election and instead used that money to avoid these job cuts. Do you think all of the people who could be employed in those positions would prefer $200 or a full time job?

Another repeat of history. Mike Harris cut many nursing positions back during the „common sense revolution“ and those nurses never came back. Ontario has the worst hospital bed to population ratio and will continue to get worse under a Doug Ford government because Doug doesn’t care.

I thought there are 10hour wait times in Ontario hospitals because there is a shortage of staff, not because Ford can’t allocate money to hospitals.

Starve the beast is working as intended. “See? Public health isn’t working.”
