No, the federal tax rate should be significantly reduced allowing the provincial governments to increase tax to fund healthcare how they see fit.

 @9FBJ56Dfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only for the public healthcare system.

Healthcare should be free presuming you are following the rules and not taking advantage of the system.

 @8VG6MFSfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8V673KVfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

They should not allow unions to interfere with wage negotiations.

 @8T9HWLGfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

I am happy with the current healthcare program

Yes. Specifically mental health services.

 @8S5LPK4from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

satisfied with current system

 @8RMFXFDfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

yes, but focusing more on mental health.

 @8QQDC3Jfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Fix the corrupt healthcare unions, add some privatization, competion fuels innovations, improves performance and lowers prices. Everyone should have access to healthcare, but government employees are generally to secure in thier jobs, get more benifits and perform worse than thier private sector counterparts.

 @8QNN7PHfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and introduce a two tier public/private system

 @Matt117589Greenfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, with added programs to reduce acute hospital admissions for non emergent care

 @8DSTSNKfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes the government should increase spending to include naturopathic doctors as an option and focus more on healing and less on band-aid fixes. Cost of healthcare could be decreased by focusing on prevention like healthy eating, rest, time outdoors, nutritional supplements being prescribed including vitamins. The healthier the people, the more participating in the work force, the stronger the economy.

 @8CH685Xfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

Make it a priority but keep it so it's not completely taking away from other issues

 @9C4N53Jfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

No, we have a pretty good health care system as is. I think that more important prescriptions should be covered at a higher cost and something like cannabis should be increased or kept the same

 @99C5LNMfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

they just did and they need to continue to work wiht prvinces to make sure money is spent in the best way because healthcare is a provincial responsibility

 @8VLPZRFfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but only effectively

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.
