FOR PROFIT CARE OPPRESSES OUR ELDERY AND FRONT LINE WORKERS

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO HELP WITHDRAW THIS BILL -- BILL 175

Reverse the privatization of home and community care...

What does this mean?

The Ontario Health Coalition says that the new legislation will dismantle all remaining public governance and control of home care.

Home care is currently coordinated by 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) across the province, which outsource the delivery of care to agencies – most of which are for-profit and notorious for exploitative practices:

- PSWs underpaid 

- Budget cuts

- Neglect / Abuse for residents

- Systemic injustices

- Understaffed

- Extreme lack of care 

Bill 175 will hand over the coordination to newly-formed Ontario Health Teams, which are loose coalitions of for-profit and not-for-profit agencies set to replace the LHINs. The Health Teams will be overseen by Ontario Health, a “super agency” that functions with no accountability or oversight. (Rankandfile).

Please help us STOP  the "modernization" of homes in our province. We must stand strong to uphold what we want for our loved ones and for our futures.

Long term care as it stands is in the business of lining politicians pockets not for the care of these vulnerable people.
