As election day looms, I’m here to remind the people of #Alliston & #SimcoeGrey that Ford has not mentioned the state of our ER’s since Feb9/24

We all matter or none of us do

#VoteFordOut #onpoli

The ER at Stevenson Memorial in Alliston Ontario is currently experiencing high volumes of patients and wait times are impacted

My big hope for Canada is that, as we enter elections for the country and Ontario, we all remain aware that any politician who talks of “sacrifice” and “making tough choices” is *always* referring to ordinary people and not them. The rich will not be asked to sacrifice, the toughness imposed on us.

Of all the things that never happened this is the most never happened thing. 🙄

Drugs aren’t cheap but they aren’t likely to bankrupt (me). There are still too many without (supplemental) insurance that do (too often) go without.

People see what they want to see. Who would want to believe that a doctor, THEIR doctor, would do this? The question is how do you get them to see that it actually did, especially given the fact that he’s still licensed?

$45 for ambulance in Ontario Canada no matter the reason. I’m so sorry.

I can only hope that conservative Canadians are paying attention. This is what the Cons want. Money in their and their donors pockets at your/our expense. Vote like your life depends on it. It literally does.

Next year we (2 people) will pay $12,461.28 for health "insurance," and this amount means my insurer will pay for the bare legal minimum of preventive care; anything else we need we will pay out of pocket, until I have paid an additional $8000 for me or $16,000 for the family.

"I think a healthy consumer skepticism is the way to go," said Lang
Not to mention the stink of privileged health care. Those with money to pay for the tests can (eventually?) be diagnosed early and get early treatments.

So much YIKES! #overdiagnosis & underdiagnosis with false positives & negatives, huge knock-on effects for strained system with ??benefit.

Learning from Theranos and 23and me, beware if it sounds too good and/or a corporation owns your DNA 🧬

It’s an idea that thrills cancer researchers: a blood test that has the potential to screen for a sweeping number of cancers before symptoms appear.
