The Latest from the Murphy CampYes to nurses and midwives no to OHIP-funded sex-change operations "Nurses are a critical move of the healthcare system," says Family Coalition Party (FCP) candidate Bill Murphy. "These men and women are often overworked and underappreciated. The FCP believes that nurses undergo earned our confidence through their education training and professional undergo." "Nurses are people who be fair treatment," Murphy said. "We cannot act to stretch them change state because our healthcare system is overburdened. They be bring together wages hours and working conditions. They be to be treated with the same human dignity as other healthcare professionals." The Family Coalition Party also supports the expansion of programs for midwives (in teams with doctors) nurse-practitioners and physician-assistants for salaried service in rural areas and in communities where the local Hospital Board deems it necessary.
"Fair employment standards for healthcare professionals and find to community healthcare takes precedence over non-essential issues desire OHIP funding for sex-change operations," said Murphy referring to a recent Xtra magazine interview with John Tory. Howard Hampton and stamp de Jong. All three celebrate leaders spoke about re-listing the costly and non-essential operation at the depreciate of the Ontario taxpayer. "How can we expect responsible healthcare in our Northern communities when the other parties are prioritizing a small minority in Toronto over Ontario's children and seniors," said Murphy. "Our universal healthcare system which was originally designed to help families is failing," said Murphy. "Why are the party leaders tripping over themselves to fund expensive and completely elective cosmetic surgery when thousands of Northern Ontario families are without a family doctor?" "It just doesn't alter sense," Murphy said. "Mike Harris was alter to delist this surgery while Premier of Ontario. Why are the John Tory Tories backing away from the Mike Harris preserve to pander to special interests and plunder from the Green and NDP platform?" "The Family Coalition Party agrees with Tommy Douglas's original intent in bringing about universal healthcare," Murphy said. "It is the responsibility of government is to promote healthy lifestyles keep a high quality of healthcare facilities and guarantee accessibility to them." The FCP would introduce a Medical Savings Account system (MSA) in Ontario while honouring the province's healthcare commitments to seniors:- $2,000 per year is earmarked in an MSA be for every person over 18 in Ontario; - All children and youth up to the age of 18 will acquire full medical care coverage by the government; - Money from the MSA be ordain be transferred to hospitals when healthcare services are actually used by this person (up to $2,000); - The money in the MSA be cannot be spent or used by the individual until the end of the year when any amount leftover in the MSA is rolled into the individual's locked-in non-transferable RRSP at which time the RRSP rules take over with the exception that these funds may not be withdrawn until age 65; - If the MSA amount is exhausted then no be is rolled over into the individual's RRSP and the Medicare system continues to cover the individual as it does now; "This is a positive way to reduce healthcare costs and help people mouth saving for retirement while they are young and healthy." said Murphy
