The Ontario government must recognize the essential role of family doctors. The care and expertise they provide cannot be replaced, and compensation should reflect their true value to patients and the health system. See OCFP's statement:ontariofamilyphysicians.ca/news/ocfp-stat…

Primary care should be a legislated right.
That >6.5 million people in Canada go without it is antithetical to the values people hold dear and the promise of Medicare
Thanks @janephilpott for this terrific op-ed. I can’t wait to read your book!

We hear you. We share your concerns about the CMA's consultations on health care "privatization". The evidence is clear that private financing worsens accessibility and inequity. Please read and sign our open letter, and share widely! #cdnhealth

You told us and we listened. For more than a year, the CFPC has been calling on elected officials to listen to our solutions to help a health care system close to a breaking point. But much like you, we are all sick of waiting. Join the fight for change now: cfpc.ca/stopwaiting #StopWaiting

Great thread on why introducing private financing into our health care system doesn't work, and the solutions that actually will improve our crisis. #cdnhealth

"When we're looking at private financing in our system it tends to have worse patient outcomes and more financial inefficiencies. So why would we be looking to expand that in our existing health-care system?" says Chair @bechardmel #cdnhealth

Family doctors are currently spending up to 19 hours a week on administrative work. By improving outdated digital systems, we can decrease the administrative burden and increase the amount of time family doctors spend directly on patients. bit.ly/3EPDZOO

For-profit surgical clinics won’t save our health system.
What will?
✔️Funding our public system well
✔️Maximize current OR efficiency
✔️Centralized referrals
✔️Multidisciplinary teams
(And more - see @CdnDrs4Medicare)
Thanks @CTV_PowerPlay !

Our health system deserves better than public funds for private profits
Canadian Doctors for Medicare@CdnDrs4Medicare
CDM Chair @bechardmel was on @CBCNews earlier today talking about @fordnation's proposed plan to expand the use of for-profit facilities for surgeries in Ontario. Adding profit motive muddies the waters and raises concerns about patient outcomes. #onpoli cbc.ca/player/play/21…

We cannot claim that our #public #healthcare system has failed when we haven’t funded it appropriately. #Public health-system solutions have been hiding in plain sight and cannot be ignored any longer. By @bechardmel and @jasminegite healthydebate.ca/2022/03/topic/…

👇 Ontarians deserve a family doctor who is supported by teams. This is urgently needed.

"We cannot be in a situation where most people are relying for their care on a single individual family physician or nurse practitioner or any kind of primary care provider." — @docdanielle (@UofTfamilymed, @WCHospital), at 8/11pm | Producers: @spaikin & @VickyQiao3 #onhealth

Dr Kuntz established our unique Enhanced Skills program in Women’s Health @UofODFM designed to educate physicians as experts, advocates, researchers and leaders in the full range of women’s health. The program has since trained over 20 FM grads!

@UofODFM Women’s Health grads reunited to celebrate Dr Chris Kuntz, a pioneer who over 20yrs as PD inspired/empowered generations of family docs to embrace gender health broadly across the lifespan & move beyond defining women by their reproductive capacity.

Primary care is the foundation of the healthcare system
Like a good building foundation, we forget about it when it’s working well
It’s unseen, unsexy, and no one really wants to spend extra on it
But, when it starts to crumble, the whole home can give way 🧵
