Healthcare should never be for sale. I'm so sad right now. Doug Ford is busy fighting nurses in court just to decimate publicly-funded healthcare while paving way for more privatization. Make your voices heard by voting NO to privatization. Share widely 👇🏿 publichospitalvote.ca

"The annual cost of unintended pregnancies in Canada amounts to more than $320 million. For every $1 spent on contraception, about $90 will be saved for the province," says @Contracepti_ON Co-Chair Dr. @HavaStarkman @CTVNews #onpoli #reproductiverights toronto.ctvnews.ca/birth-control-…

HUGE WIN: Congratulations to our sister campaign @AccessBC for successfully advocating for FREE #contraception for all British Columbians! @Contracepti_ON will follow their lead and continue to fight for the same in Ontario! #CoverContraceptiON #contraceptionforall #onpoli

Access to contraception is key to the right to health, achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment, and reducing health care costs. #CoverContraceptiON

@fanvav I love this so much 💗💗 what a wonderful example of our community!

Forever grateful to have been part of this day!

The solution is not to waste money on private insurance that duplicates what’s already covered in our public plans, nor is it forcing patients to pay out-of-pocket. #BetterMedicare /end

Bottom line: Canada’s single-payer system keeps costs low and ensures equitable access to care. We need to strengthen our health care system & urgently improve access to care, but we can do that through better coordination in how we deliver care & increased public funding. /14

A 2015 Contraceptive Survey has shown that people with lower household incomes, without higher education or who come from more remote parts of the country experience challenges affording contraception. #CoverContraception

Significant barriers to affordability of contraception has led to over ~180,700 women in Canada having unintended pregnancy, which has an associated cost of $320M to the health care system. #advocacy #CoverContraceptiON

Spending more on private for-profit healthcare will not solve Ontario's healthcare crisis. Investing in our public healthcare system, will.

Advanced care planning is a critical component of our healthcare system that gets very little attention. It is never too early to speak to loved ones about your care wishes and, even better, to document them in writing.
