It depends on what the money is spent on. The entire budget should be re-examined by a mixed public and private sector board, and funding levels changed based on their recommendations.

 @9F233YSfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes but with conditions and exact plans on money

 @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.

 @93653QYfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Not of interest

 @8ZMQV95from Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

The federal government should allow provinces to tax and spend on health care as they see fit

 @8VVRKWFLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8VSFCQFfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but make the healthcare system prioritize mental health of all patients

 @8VLQ8KHNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

They should only keep spending if they start spending smarter

 @8VLJ3XMNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

More on mental health

 @8VLCT8Rfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Eye tests, and dental should be back on provincial healthcare programs

 @8V5QQBQNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

There should be more spent on preventative care and education and healthy living.

 @8TWPKY2from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

More money with BETTER decisions and better allocation of the funds given.

 @8T957V9from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, especially towards mental health

 @8T7LKKFfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

More in mental health services

 @8T2DTNSfrom Manitoba  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but the options of health care should expand

 @8SWTJV5Liberalfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, with restrictions on what provinces can spend it on

 @8SL99XNfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and it should focus on mental healthcare, dental, rehab services, etc.

 @8RM9HXTfrom Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

should manage spending better

 @8Q2LJJMfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, Government spending on Healthcare should slowly increase with ageing population.

 @8PJLV9Vfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Happy with current system

 @8PGNQ32Rhinocerosfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, it should be a provincial responsibility.

 @8D4QRKDNew Democraticfrom Nova Scotia  answered…5yrs5Y

I am satisfied with current spending

 @9C4BCYSfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

It should stay the same (if it ain't broke don't fix it)

 @97297JCNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Fix the system, it’s broken

 @8WSJZNDfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

That depends on what they would be spending on for healthcare

 @8VCBJYTfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but the funding provided needs to actually reach the hospitals and people they employ, not get lost in administration and insurance. We desperately need more nurses and better ER response

 @8S57H7WNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, it's good as is.

 @8DKJQP7from British Columbia  answered…5yrs5Y

Estoy satisfecho con la situación actual

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.
