implementing US-style privatized health care, plundering public health care for profit,\u201d she continued. \u201cWe are sounding the alarm today because our public system will not survive another four years of these policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Norah Beatty, a retired teacher living near Meaford and co-founder of the Grey Bruce Health Coalition, said \u201cOur goal for the protest is to make healthcare a key issue in the election. We want to say why we and the public are so worried about the future of single tier health care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome system failures affect all of us everywhere\u201d, she continued, \u201cbut some \u2014 hospital emergency department closures for instance \u2014 fall more heavily on people living in rural and northern areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Herman Sethi, a healthcare worker and member of the Brampton Caledon Health Coalition, said: \u201cFord\u2019s wage-capping Bill 124 and push for privatization have left healthcare workers overworked, underpaid, and demoralized\u2014forcing many to leave the profession while private profits soar. Our public healthcare system is being dismantled, and those who care for us are paying the price.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WHAT: Protest at Minister of Health Sylvia Jones constituency office<br \/>WHEN: Saturday February 8<sup>th<\/sup> at 12 noon Eastern<br \/>WHERE: 180 Broadway Street, Orangeville<\/p>\n<p>Media contacts: <br \/>Grey Bruce Health Coalition \u2013 519-477-3513<br \/>Brampton Caledon Health Coalition \u2013 647-237-6276<br \/>Greater Toronto Health Coalition \u2013 416-856-5008<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/newsroom\/ti?nf=OTM1NTIzMSM2NzQxODM3IzUwMDExODY3Nw==\" alt><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml.globenewswire.com\/media\/NzZlNjk2NDItOTg1Zi00MjI5LThhNDMtY2ZiZTVmZWVmNTYxLTUwMDExODY3Nw==\/tiny\/Ontario-Health-Coalition.png\" alt><\/section>\n<section>\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p> GlobeNewswire <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/financialpost.com\/globe-newswire\/media-advisory-public-healthcare-advocates-to-protest-at-minister-of-health-sylvia-jones-office\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author of the article: Published Feb 07, 2025 \u00a0\u2022\u00a0 1 minute read SITUATION CRITICAL Article content Article content TORONTO, Feb. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) \u2014 On Saturday February 8th at 12 noon, the Grey Bruce, Brampton Caledon and Greater Toronto health coalitions, local chapters of the Ontario Health Coalition, will gather outside Minister of Health<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":838596,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36960,1125],"tags":[15708,6438],"class_list":{"0":"post-838595","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-advisory","8":"category-media","9":"tag-advisory","10":"tag-media"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=838595"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838595\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/838596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=838595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=838595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=838595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
