Premier Doug Ford’s government gives a for-profit clinic more funding to perform certain OHIP-covered surgeries than it gives Ontario’s public hospitals to perform the same operations, CBC News has learned.

I don’t understand how a for-profit clinic is eligible for any goverment funding at all. If its for-profit, surely they can afford to fund themselves and leave the healthcare funding for the free health services.
That’s the model Ford has now - he’s going to pay private hospitals to have surgeries because he says public hospitals are too back-logged to perform them. Why are we back-logged? Because he isn’t hiring enough nurses to staff our hospitals. Get it?
