Marlene Spruyt and the other candidates from Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston were recently interviewed by Jesse Reynolds at Global News for their local riding candidate profiles. Many issues were discussed, but all candidates agree that health care is a top priority for voters.
Marlene highlights the need to keep health care public, including administration and delivery. “We put people before profits”, says Dr. Spruyt, highlighting the need to prevent the privatization of health care and keep it accessible for all.
She also raises the issue of per capita spending on health care. “Per each individual resident of the province, [health care spending] is less than it used to be”. She highlights how other candidates continue to reference spending increases, but are not transparent about the per person budget for health care in Ontario.
