J.P. Tasker⁩ ⁦⁩great article. But solution is not as complicated as laid out-⁦Sylvia Jones⁩ & ⁦Doug Ford⁩ simply have to pay family Drs enough to make it worth doing. Cause right now it ain’t.Raise pay problem goes away. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Family doctors are speaking out. The time to act is now before they vanish forever. Everyone in Ontario deserves access to a family doctor. Like and repost if you agree. #Onhealth

An a007 physician code (most common code) was $32 in 2009. Today it is $37.90. Inflation alone makes this code $46.29. Physicians fund offices, staff and run small businesses. They can’t provide care if governments don’t keep pace with inflation. #onhealth

"In the long run, a career as a family physician doesn't seem to be a financially wise one. Historically, pay raises that family physicians get from the government haven't kept up with inflation." Ontario Ministry of Health can fix this tomorrow. ctvnews.ca/canada/doctors…

"Global News also reached out to the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) for its reaction to the changes but it did not have anyone available to comment." Canadian Medical Association has over $2B in reserves and they can't find someone to comment??? Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/10435179/…

For the love of God, pay family docs more. “More money” may not be the solution for everything. But when it comes to retaining and recruiting GPs, it’s about as close to a magic bullet as we’re likely to find, by Matt Gurney tvo.org/article/for-th… via TVO Today | The Agenda Dennis Kendel

Reminder - from March of this year. Ontario Ministry of Health of course, says "no concern" about supply of doctors and retention and recruitment not on the cards in negotiations with Ontario Medical Association cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

Maintaining and operating an Electronic Medical Record system requires multiple staff and time. Rising subscription costs, forced migration into new operating systems, & periodic disruptions. The government fails to compensate Family Doctors the true cost of doing business.
