The Ontario Greens Leader, Mike Schreiner, has voiced concerns over the increasing trend of for-profit healthcare clinics in Ontario, exemplified by a Hamilton clinic that charges patients for access to primary care. Schreiner emphasizes that healthcare should not come with a price tag and criticizes the current government for enabling this pay-to-play model. He calls for action to close loopholes that allow such practices and stresses the need for investment in the public healthcare system, asserting that access to healthcare is a fundamental human right.
