Ontario to Face Higher Bills If Ottawa Cuts Health Funding
Ontario residents may pay more out of pocket for doctor and hospital care if Ottawa reduces health transfers. Health Minister Dennis Timbrell warns higher taxes premiums and patient fees could cover a $1.5 billion cut planned by Finance Minister Allan MacEachen, with Ont ario’s health budget potentially shrinking by $600 million. The shift aims to boost home and community care as acute care beds strain, while aging, fewer taxpayers intensify funding challenges.
