Dear Premier:
Your government’s February 1st changes to Ontario’s Statutory Benefits Schedule are a direct attack on a person’s health and recovery after a car accident.
Cutting
benefits and restricting access to attendant care funding unfairly
affects the standard of living of accident victims and the family
members who care for survivors after a
motor vehicle accident.
I
have paid my premiums for the mandatory insurance your government has
in place. Like all drivers, I expect to be covered if I am injured in an
accident.
Less
funding and resources available for recovering accident victims places
more responsibility on the already overburdened social services in our
province.
As
far as I am concerned, your government’s changes to auto accident
benefits are a violation of my Charter right to equal treatment, without
discrimination, under the law. (15.1)
Further,
it is disgraceful that you did not consult with the public or
stakeholders in a democratic and open climate of good faith. Any
decision that affects the most vulnerable citizens of the province
should not be put in place without even defining when the changes to
coverage are to be implemented – that oversight has left many seriously
injured MVA survivors uncertain about their coverage.
Your
attack on the well being of injured accident victims has everything to
do with politics. You have caved in to pressure from the Ontario
insurance industry and the Insurance Bureau of Canada who have long
called for deep cuts to benefits for motor vehicle accident victims.
Victim recovery is being sacrificed for greater
insurance industry profits and innocent injured accident victims are
being impoverished and punished.
I plan to vote in the next election. I won’t be voting Liberal unless this latest slash to coverage is rescinded immediately.
Sincerely,
(your name)
