EVENT: Trojan Horse Ontario Tour to Fight Privatization of Hospital Surgeries
Posted: October 2, 2024
(October 2, 2024)
To protest the Ford government’s privatization of our public hospital services, the CUPE Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU-CUPE) and Ontario Health Coalition are kicking off a Trojan Horse tour this Friday at Queen’s Park, Toronto. The Ford government is privatizing surgeries by taking public funding and staff away from public hospitals to for-profit clinics which only makes wait times worse. Not only do these clinics cost more, but they illegally and unlawfully charge patients thousands of dollars for medically necessary care. To represent the false claim that privatizing surgeries will reduce wait times in public hospitals, a 15-foot replica of a Trojan Horse will travel around to media conferences around the province.
