Ontario optometrists to resume eye exams for kids and seniors as job action is paused ift.tt/32oYYHQ

#BREAKING: The Ontario Association of Optometrists says it is entering formal negotiations with the government over funding dispute and as a “sign of good faith,” pausing its job action of withholding certain OHIP services starting tomorrow #onpoli

Services will be back for seniors, youth and recipients of OHIP covered eyecare starting tomorrow. I will be using my voice in the Legislature to tell the Premier to bargain in good faith, to stay at the table and ensure these services won't be lost again #onpoli #eyecareontario

BREAKING: OHIP eligible eye exams resume. Pleased to see the Ontario government & the @ONOptometrists finally seeing Eye to Eye! ⁦@celliottability⁩ Statement from Minister Elliott on Ongoing Negotiations with the Ontario Association of Optometrists news.ontario.ca/en/statement/1…

Ontario’s eye care system needs your support. Head over SaveEyeCare.ca today and urge your local MPP to support a sustainable funding system for eye care in Ontario. #saveeyecare

The current state of eye care in Ontario is not sustainable. After 30 years it’s time to prioritize eye health with funding that protects Ontario’s most vulnerable. Head over the SaveEyeCare.ca and urge the government to properly fund these services. #saveeyecare

Citizens of Ontario are waiting for you to pay optometrists so they don’t have to subsidize eye care @celliottability @fordnation #onpoli #SaveEyeCare

I’m glad my sister (also an Optometrist) was able to provide @RobinMartinPC with quality eye care - don’t all Ontarian’s deserve the same?! Eye care is health care. @mattybing @celliottability @ONOptometrists @fordnation globalnews.ca/news/8388315/o…

@GilaMartow @RobinMartinPC @mattybing @celliottability @ONOptometrists @fordnation Thank you for continuing to use your voice to raise this issue! My kids deserve the same quality #SaveEyeCare as @RobinMartinPC! @celliottability it’s time to get this done @ONOptometrists deserve respect! My kids & mom deserve healthcare!

Why the double standards @fordnation @celliottability? The people of Ontario deserve similar eye care as the other provinces as well. Just ask your 'good friends', Francois Legault and Jason Kenney. Ontario deserves better! @ONOptometrists #SaveEyeCare

.@celliottability needs to take a business course. Her logic doesn't make sense re: #Ontario Optometrists. How does she think being treated unfairly twice as often, is a good thing? @michelledubeCTV @Travisdhanraj @citycynthia @L_stone #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #Toronto #DougFord

QB optoms also threatened to strike a few years ago as they were being paid 42$. The diff is their gov actually listened, figured out the cost of an exam, and negotiated 107$ for the same quality eye care that ON optometrist provide at 44$#SaveEyeCare @celliottability @fordnation

@JessicaBellTO Thank you for recognizing the important role Optometrists play in health care in Ontario. Optometrists are able to properly diagnose disease to save this province expensive emerg visits. Eye care deserves proper funding @celliottability . #saveeyecare

Every day the Ford government delays working with Optometrists, they put the eye health of seniors and kids at risk, and force patients to make unnecessary and costly visits to the ER. Thank you David for reaching out to my office and sharing your story. #EyeCare #onpoli

What good is a new highway if citizens can’t see properly to drive on it? We know what @celliottability and @fordnation need to prioritize! Healthcare and eye care! #saveeyecare

Cmon…they say they 'want to study our cost' but then not commit to them? Why’d they refuse to coauthor a cost study 1 yr ago? Just a DELAY TACTIC. SENIOR VOTERS are MAD! #SaveEyeCare #ONpoli #Ontario @NatKusendova @Sflecce @MacLeodLisa @RobinMartinPC

#SaveEyeCare Optometrists said no to the 39 million but they didn’t listen. This is not fair negotiation @celliottability @fordnation @OAOPresident

Ontario residents shouldn't have to leave the province to access primary health care. Listen to my full interview here: gila.ca/cbc2021nov16

Hey @CHogarthPC… doing anything interesting today? Did you catch @GilaMartow on @CityNews570? She said many good thing that @OntarioPCParty or private members could do. Hopefully we can have other MPPs join the side of their constituents.
