\u0027What we\u0027re seeing is that the health\u002Dcare system isn\u0027t just getting worse, it\u0027s getting worse faster,\u0027 says emergency room doctor

The internal report was published by the Ontario Liberals, who have challenged the effectiveness of the Ford government’s interventions to manage the province’s ongoing healthcare crisis.

The number of emergency room patients waiting for hospital beds rose to 946 in September, up from 884 in August. Health Minister Sylvia Jones’ office issued a statement in which it blamed the Liberal government, saying Ontario’s health-care system was “mismanaged” for 15 years This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.“That’s why we have added over 12,000 health-care workers to the health-care system since the start of the pandemic.

“There’s been issues with emergency overcrowding for years,” he said, adding that while “the pandemic didn’t cause these problems, it just really put a lot of stress on the fractures, and it led to open breaks in the system.” With the early arrival of the flu season this year, Kapur said the problem has already worsened since September.Article content

This is because of limited hospital capacity not RSV or covid lies

Nothing like our Canadian government saying there’s a problem without offering a solution or fixing it.

🤣🤣🤣ridiculous! Even Mexico has better healthcare lol

You can't bring in millions of legal? or illegal immigrants and not collapse the economy, health care and education. It costs Canadian taxpayers about $200 Billion every year in crime, lawyers and supports. No one is even asking the questions that need to be asked.

That is exactly what central planning looks like. Still enjoying free healthcare?

Wow... That DOUG FORD is doing an awesome job! An absolute awesome job of destroying Ontario's Healthcare System!

Maybe they should get rid of all the middle managers and reclaim the space.

We don't care, says climate activists and elites/ money makers ( govt)

Come to NB, or stay in ON and be ever so thankful.

Pathetic

How convenient! Enjoy the sovietic public healthcare system! Don’t change anything, the mafia doctors is ok, the administration is super, the bureaucrats are happy! The primary care is a third world class! But is FREE ( for those who can’t count)! Do you need social? Go to ER🤣🤣

The article is from 2017, politicians have had years to fix the problem and don't.

Let's bring the 3rd world this will definetly solve the problem. Lots of skilled doctors.

I don't think this is at all uncommon. Hallways have become wards like an extension of the hospital system with scheduled nurses. Two years ago I spent 3 days in a hallway in BC with doors slamming & people yelling. The day after I got a 'bed' I was sent home. Thankfully.

3 years Billions of dollars How many beds were added in Canada?

Don't worry everyone!!! TRUDUES got yhd solution. Bringing in 500,000 more immigrants per year will fix the doctor and housing shortage

And how many of these people are tripled jabbed and are there for covid or the side effects of this poison?

Why do we have management teams in hospitals? Do they not know how to manage? We need managers who know how to do their jobs, revamp from the top down so the system is successful. Don’t just keep throwing dollars at a collapsing system.

If we locked everyone down like dogs, mandated face diapers, closed down small business, and forced everyone to get 5 jabs, these issues would go away.

Thats criminal Trudope give your Medicare the money needed to help Canadians and staff instead of giving our money away to other countries. ITS NOT YOUR MONEY TO GIVE U SOB

More immigration will fix this

“Let food be thy medicine, let medicine be thy food”- “All disease begins in the gut”— Hippocrates.

Maybe the Federal government should help Ontario out instead of sending money overseas.

mRNA vaccines have weakened immune response, and 90% of Ontarians have had at least 1 dose.

We’ve been telling the government to invest more in healthcare, hire staff, buy beds and equipment, but they don’t listen. Then they blame people for not wearing masks. It’s bloody ludicrous.

But just Ontario?! This is a national problem, in any city that has been growing at least.

The healthcare system in Canada is broken. How can anyone argue otherwise?

Sad, but Karma is a bitch to a province filled with hate for truth and democracy.

chicfrmontario Thank you to fordnation and all his voters.

Get er done Doug is on the job.

We have 11 times the number of bureaucrats as Germany and the media blames our hospital crisis on covid. that is injustice! wencyleung picardonhealth mileslunn AndrewHewat

Its been hot mess for decades. Long before covid was set loose.

fordnation DougFord_ON 'Ontario patients facing up to 45-hour wait times for hospital beds' Thank-you Ford voters 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Should have voted New Blue ! .

From August 1st …. Same broken record

If we brought in more illegals this would be solve... said no one ever

Welcome to life under conservative governments. Slash funding for healthcare & education to line the pockets of the already super rich, while the rest of us suffer. Life always gets harder & more expensive under conservative governments, there are not exceptions.

Isn't our health care great.

Stop firing nurses and hospital staff for not wanting to vax.

Liberal govt.

Venezuela of the north.

Hey I got an idea let's increase immigration to record levels - the highest in the world! That should help. Welcome to Canada

Feds trying to collapse the Provincial system... it's a set up.

This isn't a mask mandate problem. This is a hospital logistics problem
