Ontario Health Coalition calls for a referendum to make it “politically impossible” to close hospitals

The Ontario Health Coalition, citing a previous successful referendum blocking health services privatization, calls for a referendum to make it “politically impossible” to close hospitals. Doug Allan, a coalition board member, “said the most recent referendum the Ontario coalition organized pertained to allowing private clinics to conduct some hospital surgeries, ‘and we collected 100,000 votes on an issue that I don’t think is quite as well known as the cuts to our hospitals.’”
