Inaccuracies promoted about The Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP)

Since the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP) made itself available to incorporated physicians in Ontario, many experts and podcasters have discussed it in the public realm. I have heard many inaccuracies and my hope is to address them in this episode with the help of my friend and business colleague Mr. JP Laporte who is a pension lawyer. Physicians in Ontario should fully understand these inaccuracies, which themselves come from the complexity of pension plan structures. Physicians should do their due diligence.
