The Ontario government is said to be peremptorily cancelling red and white health cards after three notices, according to anecdotal information among physicians. One case cited was an elderly man who had received three notices of an unknown kind who found on a visit to his doctor that the card was no longer valid. The doctor is said to have treated the man anyway. The Wynne government has been anxious to eliminate red and white cards, which do not carry a photo of the holder. The cards have no time limit on them (except death) and do not need to be renewed like green photo cards. There is no information about just how much fraud these cards have facilitated but there is now action being taken to cancel some cards, including the elderly. The province stopped issuing red and white cards more than 20 years ago.
