Ontario Hospitals "Absorb" Health Costs to Treat Refugees

Do people not realize that the hospitals are all funded by us, the taxpayers?

"Absorb" is a rather comical term for this.

Ontario hospitals are all government funded. 

Most hospitals have to have foundations to fund care and physicians salaries because the current model is "unsustainable".

When I say "unsustainable" that means that almost 50% of Ontario's GDP goes to health care expenses.

I had to e-mail the CEO of a local hospital recently in order to get my son's appointment with a specialist.

I was initially told, in March-that I would have to wait until August for the appointment.

The current model is "unsustainable", but nobody wants to slay the Sacred Canadian Cow of socialized medicine.

I say-fire up the BBQ and put some Sacred Cow burgers on the grill.

Citizens first. 

Refugee health care bills should only be paid by people who VOLUNTARILY donate their time or money toward this cause-not via tax dollars in any way, shape or form.
