@tinayazdani: NEW: I asked Health Minister Sylvia Jones why cancer patients like 31-yr-old Sabrina Apitz-Grossman are being denied funding for potentially life-saving treatment abroad. Jones defended the government's decision to tighten its rules for funding out-of-country drug treatments. #onpoli #ontario #healthcare #cancertreatment #ontariohealthcare

Staci Martin 🇨🇦 :

Can we get back to having qualified people in political jobs? Having a medical Dr or Public Health PhD in this role would be so much more helpful. Educators in education portfolio. Engineers in infrastructure. Etc.

rooster63 :

How do these people sleep at night?

baba :

How much can I say without actually answering the question.

Wendy 🇨🇦 :

Because they’ll make more money with privatization healthcare!

hellosheena :

so people's lives have a dollar value...

kimberlypeacecolonhydrotherapy :

She talked in circles but said nothing

labguy :

Answer the question

firefly13000 :

We need to start holding these politicians accountable when they don't answer the question!

Sweet Marie :

You don’t answer! Also I have been waiting for a ob referral for months for my fibroids, I can’t get iron iv at ambulatory care because you have changed to rules for that. I would have to pay 200 and up every other week out pocket at a private clinic! Ontario residents are getting access to nothing! She needs to be fired so does Doug and the rest of his cabinet

Angelica :

Shameful

Spritz :

How is someone with no medical background the health minister???

WRHC :

As cancer patients battle for life-saving care abroad, Ontario’s health minister defends overnight policy changes that block their last remaining hope. Unconscionable!

KBG7778🇨🇦🍁 :

If the new protocols won’t help her then approve what is available to help her now.

allie_lyn_18 :

So if you have empathy cover the costs

Maria🇨🇦🇮🇹 :

Fund it. We pay for this healthcare and it's not access to all. This government has to go!!!!

Lynn Degan 🇨🇦 :

I don’t know how this woman sleeps at night. This government is destroying our healthcare.

Blynn 🇨🇦 🍁 :

Never answering questions

U_M :

shameful

Grinch :

Cancer Society should cover these treatments.we Yes We the people donated Trillions,Trillions,of dollars to them. They aren’t spent on research. My husband and my mother died from the same Cancer 30 years apart and no change to their treatment and I was there for both of their journeys. NO PERSON SHOULD HAVE TO SELL THEIR HOMES,CARS,PROPERTY TO GET A TREATMENT WE PAID FOR. The cancer society spends OUR FUNDS ON PRIME REAL ESTATE AND EXPENSIVE ART AND BONUSES FOR THEMSELVES.I WILL NEVER DONATE TO CANCER EVER!

Karishma | Climate Girl :

NoOneAsked :

dina :

waterhag71🇨🇦 :
