Ontario's health minister defended changes made to physician funding for uninsured health care.
The program allowed anyone to access “medically necessary physician and hospital services” with or without a health card.
“Those on the margins are the ones who are going to be harmed the most in addition to the physicians who treat those marginalized groups, they're just going to be working for free, and that's not fair either.”Uninsured patients can include, but are not limited to, individuals who cannot get a health card for various reasons, as well as migrant workers between contracts, or those without residency status.
“Because of that order, we put in a funding model that ensured that individuals who were in Ontario could get the medical coverage they needed.” “Removing that stigma and barrier for people to access care was a crucial part [of] what we were trying to do to improve health in marginalized communities,” he said.
