BREAKING: Doug Ford is CUTTING seniors' vision care. The Ford government is reducing OHIP-covered eye exams for seniors 65 and older to every 18 months, as opposed to once a year. Let me be clear - this is a cut. 🧵(1/2)
It's an attack on seniors and on our public health care system. Just like when they voted down my Motion to cover prostate cancer screening tests under OHIP, this Government is saying NO to common-sense ways to provide better health care. (2/2) #onpoli thestar.com/politics/provi…
@Wayne_Gates Good, cut it completely. It should be privatized
@Wayne_Gates But it’s not a cut, seniors will still receive OHIP coverage for their eye exam and most always get their tests every 18 to 24 months. What you are doing is fear monger to oppose or even topple the Ford government.
@Wayne_Gates Let’s not let all the facts get in the way: coverage increasing for seniors with diabetes or other eye related health concerns. Government striving to use healthcare dollars effectively is a good thing.
@Wayne_Gates Tell him Wayne I’m with you!
@Wayne_Gates This is a great idea, now they won't be able to see when their pensions get cut
@Wayne_Gates Anytime conservatives r in power the poor suffer everytime!!!
@Wayne_Gates @krismeloche Disgusting but not unexpected from this man and his UCP Party - and he was just voted in for another four years not long ago. Seniors and most vulnerable are always those targetted first because the politicians can’t line their pockets with these people.
@Wayne_Gates Boss fears the moustache!!! Gatesy makes way too many good points in his position on arguments and Boss only can respond in cliches. That’s why Boss skips QP almost daily.
