Dear Members,
Public, high quality and accessible health care is under attack here in Ontario. The Ford government recently introduced Bill 74 The Peoples Health Care Act, and if enacted this bill would bring transformative, regressive changes to our public health care system.
Bill 74 does not improve patient services, reduce hospital wait times or increase frontline health care workers. The legislation would open the door to allow for-profit corporations to provide health care services to Ontarians. Moving health care services to the private sector has resulted, time and again, in unequal access based on what patients can afford to pay.
To understand how Bill 74 would impact workers and Ontarians, I am inviting you to join us for a telephone town hall on Tuesday, March 26 at 6:30 pm.
Here is how you can participate:

Ontarians must speak up now because we cannot afford to let Bill 74 pass.
In solidarity,
Naureen Rizvi
Ontario Regional Director
