<p>OUR READERS WRITE</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I'm a palliative care patient at Doane House Hospice and the Odette Cancer Center at Sunnybrook. I've encountered many roadblocks along my journey but nothing compared to people living outside the GTHA.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The wait lists are long, just like a back log after a highway closer, however the solution is not a two-tiered system.<br />The barriers to health care are numerous, from access to a family doctor, family support, location, language, age and financial resources. Privatizing health care will only exacerbate the problem.<br />Doug cut $22 million from our health care budget this year alone. I implore our Provincial government and Doug Ford not to privatize our healthcare.</p>
