Ontario LTC bill set to pass, hospital patients who refuse to move won’t pay $1,800 per day: Ford

says patients who refuse to move will not be charged an uninsured rate of $1,800 per day.

The province has pushed through Bill 7 quickly as part of its efforts to deal with an ongoing health-care crisis, moving earlier this week to bypass public hearings on the legislation.at a time in recent months, largely due to a nursing shortage. The province believes sending patients who need an “alternate level of care” to long-term care homes will help ease the burden on hospitals.

Hospitals can already charge these patients a co-pay of $62 per day, which advocates say is roughly what they would be paying in long-term care. Our Morning Update and Evening Update newsletters are written by Globe editors, giving you a concise summary of the day’s most important headlines.
