. Previously, health-care providers could charge the Ministry of Health between $67 to $80 for such visits.
"Even prior to the pandemic, we've been seeing all of our patients across the province, through consultations by video link," Dr. Kate Greenaway, founder and lead physician at Connect-Clinic, told CTV's Your Morning on Friday. "But now we actually can't afford to run our clinic.
"If we're unable to secure other funding outside of the ministry billing, then we won't be able to continue… the clinic will close," Greenaway said. "Currently, we're already operating at a much lower capacity only seeing urgent issues and prescription renewals because we can't afford to do routine care."
"A number of clinics across the province do gender-affirming care in person, but they tend to be in urban centers," Greenaway said. "So my patients who are in more rural settings who can't travel to get to these clinics really don't have any access in their own community.""They don't have to present their OHIP card at their health-care facility that might not use the right name or pronouns," Greenaway said.
What is a gender affirming clinic? You can be whatever gender you want! Who gives a damn!
Rare Ontario win.
One step closer to solving a real problem.
Great!!!
Good
Shut them down now. So they need boxes to pack their sh!t.
Shut em down!!!!
This place seems terrible anyways, a phone call to a specialist is not what kids should need
Good. No clinic should prescribe life altering therapy without actually spending time with the patients and properly assessing them.
Thank you God
Lmao
I've no idea why some people are applauding this. It's taking another option for another person without having a clue about their health records. It is just more losers trying to violate another person's bodily autonomy.
All grade school children should be notified immediately .
There's no way doctors should be prescribing puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones or recomending surgery without extensive *in-person* consultation.
They ought to ran out of Canada or scarlet lettered so we know to keep kids away from them permanently.
Gender-affirming = Satanic Body Mutilation
Good, shut it down. You other have a schlong or you don’t. Pretty simple really.
Good
Great to see at least one of these grifting medical groups have their funds cut. Whatever the reason, if it shuts this trash down, it’s a cause for celebration.
Don't tell me that is really a thing. Unbelievable
Good. Send the funding to mental health services
Good hope they will all close
Gender affirming = Irreversible Genital mutilation
The what now
Good useless anyway, if you have a dink and like to wear a dress 👗 You are still a dude in a dress🤡
I'm here for the ratio
“Gender affirming”
Mutilation clinic forced to close is a good news story.
How am I going to sleep tonight?
Oh no!... Anyway..
Thank you God for helping us shut down the child-mutilation clinics 🙏
Whatever excuse you want to go with. I'm very happy those butchers are out of a job.
Who cares why are my friends dying suddenly but no media brings it up?
genital mutilation clinic
Why would anyone need their gender affirmed? Stand in front of a mirror naked and it will tell you what you are...
As it should be! Healthcare money that could be better spent on something more useful such as in a hospital etc.
I know a gentleman who died in the hospital hallway waiting for some one to help him. We need to get our priorities right in this country.
Good! 'Gender affirming care' (aka greenlighting life altering hormones/surgery for minors = SUPER IMPORTANT STUFF) shouldn't be done over Zoom.
FINALLY!
Well damn... how will we know what gender we are? I guess we'll have to donit the old fashioned way. Pull down your pants and look. If you have a dink, you're a dude. No dink, you're a dudette. 🤷♂️
Genocide clinic
Nature is healing.
Good! I didn’t sign up for my tax money to pay off harmful selective and cosmetic surgeries
Good. The answer to your sadness is not a different set of genitalia.
Gender affirming clinic……
About time!
It’s a great day
Those clinics shouldn't exist
👏 this is good
Ontario can do without gender-affirming clinics.
Awwww, what a shame 🥲🤣
Lol
Well I am no finance expert but it would seem to me the obvious option would be see clients in person and get paid more per patient.
Onterrible never should of had a ridiculous clinic such as that.
It should be closed permanently. That's the tweet.
You spelled child abuse and mutilation wrong
Good
Good.
