Should the federal government increase spending on healthcare?

Healthcare is funded by provincial governments. This is a misleading question and fools the audience into thinking that the federal government spends money on healthcare. Shame

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

More spending if effective. Some privatization similar to the Netherlands or Japan. Not an American model. Just make it work without being unaffordable.

The government should focus on improving the conditions of the public system to reduce the chances of more privatization for services.

Yes, but slowly

The amount we spend right now is fine

We should increase government spending and minimize the current bureaucratic system. Less boards, managers, redundancies, etc.

I am satisfied with the current spending on healthcare

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.

Yes and provinces should too, esp. mental health, dental, pharmacare, preventive medicine

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.

Yes, the government should fund healthcare, but we should also require provinces to pay their fair share of the funding, and have the responsibility for maintaining the system that we have, rather than cutting it for austerity purposes and then asking the government for more money.

Yes, provided that the provinces do the same, and there are updated standards put in place to make sure that cuts don't easily happen.

The provinces should increase their spending as it is their responsibility.

Should be free

Its good enough since healthcare in Canada is free

Yes, along with an increased support in the updating of healthcare technology and services.

Fine with current system.

its fine how it is

They should increase spending in aeas where medical scince is lacking such as cancer reaserch or covid-19

I'm fine with where it is right now

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

It's complicated and think a panel of doctors should discuss and come up with the best solution

I think there should be user co-pay, but not for people below a certain income level.

No, open borders to qualified doctors from other developed countries in order to reduce patient wait times.

Healthy people creates healthy economy.

Yes and also increase funding for home care. For seniors and for adults and children who need staffing

The government should support adequate healthcare in an efficient way and that does not necessarily mean increased funding.

After seeing how poorly the whole COVID-19 fiasco has been handled and how the health care system has manipulated and controlled our country for the past 18 months, I would say no!!! However, if more money was to be spent on health care, I would prefer it be spend on prevention and education along with more resources for mental health. As well, I would like to see patients have the choice to pay for services such as MRI's and other similar services and free up the cue for those who cannot pay and need to get the service quicker.

Yes, especially for mental health services

Yes, but only where it can do some good (where it can be shown to work)

Funds should be used more responsibly

Increase spending and implement a two tier public/private system

Spending should remain the same in Canada.

keep it the way it is

I think that we should still have health care for the less wealthy, but I think it would also be good for them to have an option to pay a bit to get better treatment instead of everything being even.

Maintain same level of funding

Yes, with restrictions on what provinces can spend it on

Health-related services should be more privatized, but other services should also be privatized in moderation.

No I'm satisfied with the current amount of spending

No, I am satisfied with the current funding

Healthcare is not in the purview of the Federal Government. They can use their spending power to influence the Provinces, but ultimately Healthcare is a topic of Provincial governments.

What we're spending is fine right now

No keep it as is

Health Care Is Free

depending on what type of medical care is needed.

Yes, there should be increased funding covering alternative healthcare options (acupuncture, naturopathic physicians, massage therapy, etc.)

I am content with our healthcare

I think it's fine how it is, but if corona cases increase, I think the nurses and doctors deserve a higher pay, and they need to pay for masks and vaccines especially since they plan on giving them to Canadians for free.

We already have good health care so I don't think that would be needed.

Yes, but funding should go to chronic deceases and conditions which are preventable by modifying human behaviour (ie., smoking related cancers, diabetes, etc.)

Yes, but it’s a reasonable increase

current system is sufficiant

Yes, but have a approach with everybody at the table to come to a consensus.

No, but I am proud of our current system because of relatively easily accessible free healthcare; spending should stay roughly the same

Yes, but mostly for more rural or busy places

If it aint broke dont fix it

No, but spending needs to be reassessed

there should be better oversight

More and more spending

Whether an increase, decrease, or no change, there should be some reallocation of where the funds are going.

Yes, but with strings attached

yes, and privatize non-life saving care

it is good right now

No, because the current system works. If the current system is changed, it would no longer work.

I'm fine with how it works now.

Its good as it is

Indexed to inflation every year.

yes, but not that much because the money of government will loss

It's a maybe.

I don't think the government should put money where it isn't needed. In terms of healthcare if we need more money for hospitals, treatments, etc. then I think the government should put money towards it or, set more aside for cases like this.

increase healthcare for mental health issues

No because it’s not fair that people with not that much money won’t be able to have special treatments just because they don’t have enough money.
