care and vice versa

8. Private Care Examples
• Shouldice Clinic : for out of ON patients
• CT and MRI Clinics
• P3 Hospitals : Public-Private Partnership (Private
profits-Public pays) !!
9. Opponents of Privatization
• Increase wait times
• Queue jumping /violations of the Canada Health Act
• Draw health care workers away from the public system
• Higher death rates and lower quality of care
• Cost more
• Offer unnecessary and potentially harmful treatments
• “Cream skim” healthier patients requiring less costly care
• Heighten inequalities
• Undermine Canada’s public health care system
10. Conclusions
• Privatization is not the answer
• Privatization change who is waiting
rather than the waiting time
• Health Care is a social service, and
sick patients can not be treated as
ordinary consumers in commercial
transactions
• Canada should not follow the failing
US example
