In the market for a sex change? Ontario has decided that it has other priorities for health care spending, so some of the previously tax funded services associated with sex changes will no longer be covered by the province. Naturally for the Red Star, they don’t make it clear as to what services are still covered. Presumably, we’ve still got a ways to go before taxpayers are not compelled to fund cosmetic surgery at all.
Toronto based Connect-Clinic, which shut down in December of 2022 after OHIP fees for virtual-only medical services were lowered, launched a new online venture Wednesday under the banner Foria Clinic.
The online clinic will provide virtual services such as gender-affirming hormone therapy and surgical referrals to patients throughout Ontario.
I see no reason why so called progressives can’t set up a go fund me account to pay for sex changes.
Or perhaps they could resurrect WE and turn it into a gender care centre.
like a lumber yard the cutoffs are usually cheap , where as the add ons are more expensive , the province could just cover the cheap stuff
Naturally the RedStar doesn’t bother to mention what a trivial portion of Ontario’s population the trans sector is compared to the total. Gender change or alteration has no interest to the vast majority of those living in Ontario, but will take a disproportionate amount of resource for something which has nothing to do with health only personal vanity. The RedStar’s contempt for most of the citizens of Toronto and Ontario continues without the slightest let-up.
The Province should be commended for thinking that things like cancer treatment or supporting hospital emergency rooms or the shrinking pool of professional nurses to be of more importance than trans-vanity.
“The Province should be commended for thinking that things like cancer treatment or supporting hospital emergency rooms or the shrinking pool of professional nurses …”
But they’re not thinking about that at all. They’re just thinking about creating a movie-type setting/vision for the next election. There will be zero improvement in our health services between now and then … and certainly nothing but continued decline after.
So what are you saying: that the Province should have continued to fund this useless exercise?
No. And that’s not what my comment said.
jamie
Colongh has comprehension issues !
As usual, GYM has nothing to offer.
I have a burdizzo I’d donate to a clinic. One trip and your well on your way to transition.
Cheap too.
Maybe the new chain of low-cost clinics will be named Dollar
GeneralGender.No procedure will cost over $5 Cdn. Bring your own anesthetic.
As I understand it, Ontario will not pay for your prescriptions. That’s an out of pocket expense. Yes? I would think that Hormone Therapy is, in fact, a prescription. It comes in pill form, patch form, and injection. It’s a drug….a prescription. Why is it covered? And, how come no one has challenged that in court?
Ontario has other priorities? And what, pray tell, are they? There isn’t one day at work that I don’t see a client/customer suffering at the hands of the best healthcare system in the world.
Hip replacement? February 2024. MRI for a spinal injury? Still waiting for a date. Genetic test to determine if we should remove your second breast while we’re removing your first, after undergoing eight rounds of chemo? One year wait. And that’s just a tiny sampling of what I see and hear every day.
Gawd, this shite makes me see red! There certainly is “…an incredible dearth and lack of care for people…” but it isn’t the “trans.” They need mental healthcare, not gender-affirming care, whatever the eff that is.
Yup. And all Parties – Conservative, Liberal, and NDP – had the opportunity to fix the mess but did the opposite: they helped things spiral down even more.
You can’t fix the mess unless you start charging for rudimentary health care. The system is a disaster because there are fewer private sector jobs than 30 years ago when private sector taxpayers paid for the system.
O K government controlled medical “care”. No more need be said.
