Health Minister George Smitherman disagreed, pointing to recent investments in the province by auto giants Ford Motor Company, General Motors and Toyota fuelled in part by Ontario's publicly funded health-care system.
"The automotive investments in Ontario over the course of the last several months stand as pretty solid evidence that health care is one of our key economic advantages," Smitherman said.
"The chamber will need to be very balanced in its consideration to make sure that in a rush to endorse some private panacea that we're not making mistakes . . . to lose the competitive advantage that we currently enjoy."
Ontario's publicly funded health-care system, along with federal and provincial financial support, played a key role in the decisions by the three car makers to investment in the province.

In 1995, only 10 years ago, GM released that out of every one Dollar profit they made, with in the boundaries of the United States, 48 cents went to cover their employee’s health care coverage alone.
When you compare the coverage of the Canadian Businesses and U.S. Businesses, Canadian Businesses pay roughly 11 cents of every Dollar profit on employee Health care coverage back then.
Let’s not forget all Canadians are covered in Canada which is by far not the case in the United States of America! All Canadians pay for health care in Canada based on their ability to pay and lowering the financial burden as well as operating costs on other social programs.
So where is the advantage? Except for American Companies adding Canadians to their health care providers lists and signalize health care plans!
