.@StatCan_eng data reveals temp foreign workers in healthcare up 1,700% in 20 yrs. Insecure status = exploitation & worse care. As Dr. Raza says: bad conditions for workers = bad for patients. Permanent status for all = health for all. #Justice4Workers

Patient deaths plummet (4,300 fewer in one NY state study) when there are nurse-patient ratios. But hospitals & the Ford government reject them, because it would force them to staff up to meet patient acuity. The battle for these ratios in Ontario is on. https://t.co/11k2iUKpMF

Hospital executives counter that a ratios-based approach is too ‘rigid’ and could lead to cancelling some non-urgent medical services

Every shift in Ontario’s understaffed hospitals forces nurses to make an impossible choice: who gets treatment & who doesn’t. “I struggle to get up, I’m so mentally drained,” RN Rachel Fleming tells us, warning patients will die if the Ford gov’t doesn’t mandate staffing ratios.

We are encouraged by @OntariosDoctors pushing for uninsured care to be covered. Many people who build our homes, care for the elderly, grow our food, are uninsured migrants who do not have access to healthcare. We need #Healthcare4All! https://t.co/10xC9ix5Q0

Thanks to @OntariosDoctors for insisting that #Healthcare4All become a reality. Uninsured migrants are an essential part of our community. @SylviaJonesMPP @fordnation no one should be denied healthcare bcs of their immigration status. https://t.co/1xgYZOs6ix

Doctors shouldn't have to choose who "deserves" care. As emergency physician Dr. Bernard Ho said, "This is a health equity issue for Ontario’s most vulnerable." We need a permanent program that provides #Healthcare4All regardless of immigration status. https://t.co/zR6l9yFbYE
