INCREASE NUMBER of doctors and let people go directly to the specialist, the waiting times are terrible, people should not be suffering until they are referred.

 @96G9CJWNew Democraticfrom Newfoundland  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but also allow private systems

 @968GGZZfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

i don’t have a say.

 @966CP78from Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but with the exception of forcing provinces to spend the funds fully and provide the federal government with confirmation of spending and how much is spent.

 @92GW5BTfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

There should be better management of current funding, there is a lot of waste and poor administration.

 @8VYFWPRfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

the current spending is adequate

 @8VVRKWFLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

I'm for increasing spending on education resources or campaigns for preventative measures such as taxing cigarettes more etc.

 @8T957V9from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, especially towards mental health

 @8QBR2PJfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Preventive care measures should be in place. Including decentralizing health care from hospitals.

 @99LRPKFfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

No, we should fix why it's broken in the first place

 @98T57V8from British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but with strings attached

 @98H4GYLConservativefrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

No and cut funding on the top end

 @97297JCNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Fix the system, it’s broken

 @94RC7XHfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

 @93W899Gfrom Saskatchewan  answered…3yrs3Y

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
