Loading ...Ontario ER wait times getting worse, patients waiting up to 45 hours: leaked report
A leaked report is painting a grim picture of the state of the healthcare system in Ontario, with doctors warning the system will collapse if action isn’t taken.
The Ontario health report, obtained by a Liberal MPP, reveals how much longer people are waiting to be admitted to hospitals in the province this fall compared to back in the summer.
The report suggests 90 per cent of patients waited up to 12 hours in an emergency room in September — a 17 per cent increase compared to the same month last year. Once the patients were admitted, 90 per cent of them waited up to 45 hours to complete their visit — up 40.5 per cent compared to last year.

This is why single payer medical care is garbage. The pay and benefits probably don’t compete with the private sector in similar service industry jobs. Feel free to chime in if I’m off base.
SINGLE PAYOR FOR SURE ….IT’S 100% GOVERNMENT COVERAGE FOR EVERYTHING MEDICAL FOR EVERYBODY..NO EXCEPTIONS
It is illegal to charge more than Gov’t Scale
Doctors are forced to work long hours to make a better than average wage…OR to cheat and overbill like crazy
However it worked for 5 decades…until Covid ….Now it’s broken beyond repair likely…like everything else
“The province says 12,000 nurses have registered to practice in Ontario this year, the highest number ever recorded…
Arya says the province is still short 30,000 nurses…”
Does that make any sense at all? How did we manage to survive before with less nurses than we have now?
Everything the authorities are saying now is pure propaganda and not very well written too.
Hearing the same in BC. with nurses needed. Victoria just cut ambulances in Kelowna and area by 30% this past week. AM radio show had peeps calling in with stories of +2 hr wait for the wagon to show up.
