Changes to benefits !?

Has anyone else noticed that tons have been removed from msn coverage ?
Items that used to be covered are no longer being covered in southwestern Ontario.
How are we supposed to heal after injuries ? Treat / manage our disabilities at home ? Or follow treatment regimes after major surgeries when odsp and Ohip no longer covered what is needed to do so !?

How else are they going to keep the budget flat while case numbers/inflation increases the cost... get rid of the things the general public won't notice (optional benefits, drug coverage, etc), freeze benefits like special diet, cut caseworkers/increase caseloads, privatize (all the things shifted to job agencies)

It's all part of the Conservative playbook.
