Underfunding: The Impact in Our Community

Windsor and surrounding areas are feeling the effects of hospital underfunding as beds and services are closing. At the same time, promised long-term care beds are not materializing, and construction on the three new homes has not even begun. The Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration Network has actually ordered Altered Level of Care patients in hospital beds, transferred to for-profit, completely unregulated retirement homes. Home care services have been reduced, nursing homes are still not required to provide any measurable standard of care and hospital workers are facing lay-offs.

9 Concrete things I can do to restore and enhance Publicly Funded Health Care!

For a PDF version of this document, please click here.

  • I agree to sign the vote promise pledge
  • I will be voting to stop the systematic and structural dismantling of publicly funded health care
  • I will speak to a family member, friend, neighbour or co-worker about this issue, as well as ask them to sign the vote promise pledge, at www.makingwaveswindsoressex.org
  • I will consider purchasing a sign for $5.00 and place it on my property during this election, to bring broad based awareness to this issue.
  • I agree to delivering up to 100 leaflets either on my street, in my neighbourhood or in my workplace related to building awareness around enhancing public health care for all.
  • If an informational or press conference was held on my street, or in my neighbourhood dedicated to building deeper awareness, I would likely attend.
  • If a town hall meeting was held in my neighbourhood during this election which invited candidates to share their position and commitments towards health care, I would likely attend.
  • Based on my concerns related to the importance of this issue, I would likely be interested in participationg in our Windsor/Essex Health Coalition in effort to hold any and all levels of government to account for their decisions, which does not put the needs and core values of Canadians ahead of corporate interests/profits.
  • I will check out the www.makingwaveswindsoressex.org website where I can learn more about how I can make a difference on this issue, as well as explore other opportunities and issues important to Canadians
Please sign the VOTE! PROMISE! PLEDGE!
