Marie Grgic's family faced financial strain due to her mother's cancer treatment, which necessitated using retirement funds. The average cancer treatment cost is nearly $33,000, including out-of-pocket expenses. Grgic supports a bill aiming to eliminate hospital parking fees in Ontario, spurred by Nova Scotia's recent removal of such fees. Despite its potential benefits and support from groups like the Canadian Cancer Society, the bill faces obstacles to passing. Advocates argue that removing these fees is essential for patients and their families, who already bear the weight of substantial healthcare costs.
The cost of cancer is parking, it's the care, it's the hospital visits, it's the hospital beds, the medication.
This is a common sense proposal, making life more affordable and improving access to health care.
