Conservatives reject plan to cover cost of prostate screening

Ontario New Democrats are not pleased that a bid to have the Ontario government pick up the cost of a prostate cancer screening test has been turned down by the Conservative government.

“Frankly I’m disappointed, but not surprised — this has consistently been the tone of this government when it comes to public health care,” said Gates. This is not the first time the bill has been rejected, said Gates. The bill was tabled for the first time in 2019, and again in 2020 when it received all-party support. At the time, the Ontario Conservatives stalled the Bill’s final approval, said an NDP news release.

The NDP release said the most recent yearly statistics in Canada from the Canadian Cancer Society estimate nearly 25,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and that roughly 4,600 men will die from prostate cancer.
