The Ontario election: Healthcare on life-support

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Toronto Star health reporter Megan Ogilvie Ontario is racing towards a snap election on February 27 and for a lot of voters, two issues loom well above the rest: housing and healthcare. Both are at breaking point and both are dominating party platforms. As part of the Star's pre-election coverage, we're delving into these issues. Where do things really stand, are any of the candidates offering actual solutions, and what should you, the voters, be thinking about as you head to the polls?  Today's episode will focus on healthcare. With overflowing ERs, health-care worker burn-out and more than two million people without a family doctor, Ontario's healthcare has been in trouble for years. Can anyone bring it back on track?  Audio sources: Global News, CTV, CBC, Youtube This episode was produced by Paulo Marques and Saba Eitizaz
