In addition to benefits to individuals’ mental health, the NDP says its plan would save billions of dollars because community care would lessen the need for critical care, and not as much productivity would be lost in the workforce. As well, the party said businesses offering health insurance would also see savings.
An NDP government’s immediate investment in establishing universal mental health coverage would be $500 million, the party promised, and it estimated that when the plan is fully implemented in Year 4, it would be $1.15 billion annually. As well, the NDP said it would tackle wait-lists for children’s mental health care. It would implement a “Make Kids Count Action Plan” from the Children’s Health Coalition, which called for an investment of $130 million over three years.
Remember when ford and the conservatives lost like $2 billion in 2020? Like just lost it? Totally unaccounted for?
This is something I could support.
Who?
This is very much needed because there is definitely a shortage of any mental heath help and so many people suffer from some kind of crisis.
Man i cant type
A better use of thatoney is a ubi. That woild adress the root caise of much of the mental illness.
Media must challenge the NDP, for every multibillion dollar promise they make how EXACTLY would they pay for it.
Don't need another $1.15B.....allow Pharmacists to renew prescriptions. Don't need Doctor's blessings! Pharmacist knows more about the drugs than Doctors do. SAVE $Billions!!!!!! OHIP is getting ripped off by G.P.s and walk in clinics.
Don't need $1.15B a year. Redistribute current OHIP dollars. GPs are ripping off the public. GET RID OF WALK IN clinics. TOTAL waste of money! They are COMMON COLD clinics...FYI...there is NO CURE to the common cold...but they sure continue to BILL! MAXI BILL on first visit ONLY!
If NDP win we will all need this mental health care.
Because they care about their people.
Everyone wondering where the money will come from without mentioning it could have already been paid for with the billions fordnation has wasted.
We have universal mental health care already. It's just that it has a smaller piece of the pie than say, cardiovascular medicine or cancer care.
We need mental health care from listening to Angry Andrea Whorevath everyday come up with these stupid billion dollar schemes. AndreaHorwath to waste taxpayers money.
NDP are cowards after their so called leader theJagmeetSingh joins Justin because…
NDP running out of ideas
Money means nothing without capacity in the system.
NDP and angry Andrea
It isn’t money that stops treatment it lack of providers. Spend money increasing university spots and encouraging students to enter health care.
That is interesting. But could the OntarioNDP tell the citizens of onterio where the money is going to come from. ? Remember. Governments don't have money. fordnation TrueNorthCentre
I’ll leave this for you guys to read. No one will, you’ll just sit back & reinforce your stereotypes. Everyone complains here but not welling to educate themselves.
Beyond party lines, this is something that any government has to consider incorporating. It is simply a fact. Though, without any real data on how such a program will be paid for; is just nuts!
The NDP and the Liberals think we have money trees in our backyards.
But what does it entail? Same statements no actions
Are you crazy? That’s expensive
love how NDP is always promising socialist programming...but they never tell us where they will get the money!!! dear ontario...do not vote NDP
Shit they should go all in and promise everyone a Tesla!
Take the money that funds the CBC and move it over to UMH. Problem solved.
If residents looked after their own health instead of living lives of recklessness the health, mental health and dental systems would not be in the shambles it is. With the exception of some most need to make some serious changes.
Great idea but where the money coming from ? Can one politician talk about how this will be paid for and brought in.
And a pony. We want a pony!!
After seven years of the Federal Liberals and two years of COVID, that is not such a bad idea!
I firmly believe those with mental health issues should get all the care they need. That being said... If you want more of something, subsidize it.
While we don't know where the money is coming from and it will likely be 2x the estimate we need to look at it. Current system is a disaster
Sounds like to many NDP people eat to much paint chips growing up 🤪
God know anyone who votes ndp needs mental care
Great! AndreaHorwath I'll need it because the NDP has done a real number on me. I voted Liberal and didn't even know it.
Make sense. Anyone who supports the ndp definitely needs it.
Where is this money coming from? Who will be taxed but us? You might as well vote me in. I’ll send one person into space every 60 days. cdnpoli NDP Ontario
We already have this.. let’s spend 1.5B on improving health care generally
They can’t get universal health care to work and she wants to add another govt screw-up!?!? Fix what we currently have before moving on to new areas please. That would be sound management!
It's the NDP they know they can promise the moon and never worry that they will actually get elected.
Anyone who thinks the NDP has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the next election definitely needs mental health care.
There would be 15 million people using it if she was elected.
That darn NDP - always finding more ways to spend other people’s money.
Silly campaign promise as those that need it most are probably dipper supporters already....
As free as my tax bill....
Let's make an app for free mental health services... oops that exists.
Just ask Rachel she wii tell you all about it
After they defund fire departments and burn down provinces destroying families
Jagmeet should be the first patient!
why are so many Ontarians mentally broken? Is it the commute times? Crappy weather? Drake?
Beautiful word, 'Universal'. theJagmeetSingh
Lower taxes and there’ll be no need for this.
should be citing that if the current premier's brother had had more access to care he might not have ended up the way he did, doping himself to death.
What insanity…
She will never win
Ha ha April Fools.
