Interesting. The provincial liberals have spent 8 years demonizing physicians, imposing unilateral cuts of 7% to well over 30% depending on area of practice (while their energy policies have led to a 50-70% rate increase over that time, among other costs), all the while claiming that doctors can get a long fine and dandy with these cuts. Personally, I've seen a 14% decrease in income over 4 years. Yet here is Dr Hoskins, sounding the alarm because his transfer will continue to INCREASE by 3% per annum. As others have alluded to, Ontario has a spending problem. $130B in extra energy costs by 2030 is effectively a tax. If people were going to cough up that money, it should have been for priorities proposed at the ballot. It can't pretend waste doesn't impact money available to spend on priorities like health simply because waste was in a different portfolio. We won't even get into CCAC and waste in the health sector itself.
