Federal Election 2015- Vote Health Care!

Canadians share a deeply held belief that access to health care should not be based on how rich we are, but on our medical need. Most of us believe that our government will not purposely destroy public health care. But privatization is a serious threat and it would dismantle health care for all if we don’t stop it. The 2015 Federal Election is fast approaching but the Ontario Health Coalition can help you vote for public health care!

Currently, there are 4 key issues with Canada’s health care system. When we vote this year, we must ask our candidates to make 4 commitments to improve health care. The federal government of Canada must:

1. Renew the Canada Health Accord
Commit to improving the federal governments share of health funding, and don’t download it onto the province.

2. Stop privatization and 2-tier charges for patients
Stop private clinics that undermine single-tier health care. Our money is better spent on care not profiteering.

3. Create a public drug program
A public drug program would better control too-high drug prices and put money towards safer, needed medications.

4. Improve seniors’ care
Build a plan to meet the chronic care and longer term care needs of seniors and other Canadians, don’t cut care for those most in need.
Each candidate has a platform with specific ideals regarding health care. Below, you will find related information, including a comparison chart of the platform parties, a federal election information leaflet, and a federal election postcard. All of these materials are available for your review and order.

If you are interested in spreading the word about voting for health care, all of these materials are available to order for your own circulation and distribution. The order form can be found at the bottom of this page.
