"Ford's comments highlight a perceived disconnect with the realities of Ontarians relying on emergency services due to insufficient family doctor availability."
"Opposition leaders criticized Ford's remarks as out-of-touch, emphasizing that families often resort to ERs because they lack access to family doctors or alternative care."

During a campaign event, Ford discussed the need to streamline health care while referencing a doctor's assertion that many emergency room visitors didn't need to be there. Opposition parties vehemently disagreed, arguing that such comments ignore the reality that many Ontarians use ER services due to a lack of available family doctors and other accessible health care options.
