Healthcare funding an implementation should fall under federal jurisdiction. We should have a nation healthcare system not a provincial system.

cap doctor rates, but allow private services to exists so if you can pay you should be able to, but this wouldnt take away from the mass public who don't have that luxury. And capping pay would not incentivise doctors to move to private clinics leaving the less fortunate without a doctor

 @B2K8W4Dfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Not directly, but with priority funding being awarded to companies which demonstrate the most effective treatments, and funding private programs with disease and disorder prevention strategies

 @8SDSV3Cfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes my mom is a nurse and her and her co-workers get taxed heavily. They also did not get an increase in pay despite their hard work in the front line during this whole pandemic.

 @9BTC5TVfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Hold public system spending to greater accountability of spending.

 @958J8R3from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

No, keep it the same

 @8WNNQGGfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as the spending is from the government not from taxes.

 @8VVVZVWfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, and more funding should be directed toward educating the public on healthy lifestyles and practises

 @8T7LX3Cfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, just a little bit though

 @8S644VPPeople’sfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

All addmin needs to be held accountable for waste

 @9BZ6MQZConservativefrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Focus should be on improving efficiencies not spending.

 @94S2QYKLiberalfrom Alberta  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.
