Ontarian hospital fines family $400/day for not moving patient to long-term care.
Family of hospital patient in Ontario furious over $400/day fine for not moving to long-term care (LTC). Michele Campeau's mother, an alternate level of care patient, faces a $400 daily charge under a law passed by the Doug Ford government in 2022 to open up hospital space. The law allows hospitals to place patients in LTC homes not of their choosing, with patients facing charges if they refuse the move. Campeau's family has not paid the bill and does not plan to do so, stating, "I'm not too worried about it because I'm not paying it."
