The Ontario Health Coalition (OHC) says they’re “fighting back” in launching a citizen-wide referendum to stand up against the government’s plan to privatize public health care.
Launch events unveiling the referendum were held across several cities Tuesday, including a rally outside St. Joseph’s Health Care in London, Ont.
Peter Bergmanis, co-chair of the local OHC, said that hundreds of polling stations will be set up across the Forest City in the coming weeks.
“We’re going to send a strong message: This government does not have the right to touch the public health care system,” he said.

Spending the next months grappling with questions like “Will he be able to go back to work?” and “How will we make payments on our mortgage?” was difficult.

Pulling together and working hard to make big decisions, we were able to pay off $500,000 worth of medical debt and put ourselves on the path to…

Florida’s new abortion ban isn’t a horror story. It’s a death sentence
“So what are some of the horror stories you’ve seen?”
After more than 20 years as an abortion care physician, this is a question I’m used to being asked.
And I will be hearing that question more than ever now that Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a bill banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, a move that puts reproductive rights in this state under one of the greatest attacks we have ever experienced.
Suffering is not a ‘story’
When people ask me about some of the “horror stories” I’ve seen, they are usually well-meaning.
It’s a clunky question that…

Texas Ruling Strikes Down Crucial Affordable Care Act Policy – NBC 6 South Florida
A federal judge in Texas struck down a crucial Affordable Care Act (ACA) policy Thursday that mandated that private health insurers fully cover preventive care services at no cost to patients.
The ruling applies nationwide and took effect immediately thereby affecting dozens of possibly lifesaving preventive health care services that include screenings for cancer, diabetes and mental health.
Free preventive care has been deemed by health experts as one of Obamacare’s most transformative policies because it essentially removed the financial barrier for the necessary care of tens of millions of Americans.
In 2023, Florida is once again leading the nation…
Dylan Mulvaney Thanks Her Supporters In Heartfelt Message Amid Transphobic Backlash
Dylan Mulvaney has faced an unimaginable amount of backlash this week from anti-trans and right-wing groups after partnering with big names including Bud Light and Nike. But the social media stars and actors have largely remained silent about the issue, until yesterday.

Before singing (beautifully), Dylan gave a heartfelt message about surrounding…
