Electoral District (2011):
Yes. But also formalize the two tiered health care system. With taxation on those high net worth individuals who remain within the public system
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
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.
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
Yes and provinces should too, esp. mental health, dental, pharmacare, preventive medicine
The provinces should increase their spending as it is their responsibility.
Yes, along with an increased support in the updating of healthcare technology and services.
Fine with current system.
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.
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.
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
depending on what type of medical care is needed.
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
No, but spending needs to be reassessed
there should be better oversight
Whether an increase, decrease, or no change, there should be some reallocation of where the funds are going.
yes, and privatize non-life saving care
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.
@kuyugomodiLiberal5yrs5Y
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.
