In Canada we believe we have a universal health care system. And yet, there are an estimated 500,000 people who do not have access to healthcare coverage. They are our neighbours, they work in our communities, and our children go to school together.
Pregnant women have foregone prenatal care, children have been turned away from emergency care, and people have been denied life-saving surgery and cancer treatment. For those that do access care, hospital bills can lead to crippling debt. These are the dangerous and devastating consequences of denying people in our communities OHIP.
Health Providers Against Poverty has endorsed the OHIP For All campaign.
