Should the federal government increase spending on healthcare?

Yes, the government needs to improve access to family doctors whether it is public or privately delivered.

No, improve efficiency of current system by reducing losses and provide other healthcare ressources more responsibilities

If the spending is increased, I'd like to know where it is going to. That way we could see if it's going to waste or not. I don't really have a stance on this because I am not educated enough on this topic.

Yes add spending by adding a variety health professionals in the natural health and alternative professions to the current medical system. Promoting and working on health and wellness and alleviate the drain of chronic sickness and hospitalizations.

No, the government should manage the substantial funds better. It is not a matter of money but of mismanagement.

The provincial governments need to use all the money they’re actually getting from the federal governments.

Yes, but healthcare needs to to include services for mental health care such as counselling that should also be covered under OHIP. This is a health issue and we also need to allocate money for prevention instead of just disease care as this will help keep people out of the hospital. Government also needs to stand up to the pharmaceutical industries.

Spend more on preventative and proactive healthcare, which will reduce reactive healthcare (the current system)

Increase funds on education to decrease health related issues ie education in schools on the importance of exercise

Audits of the provinces' healthcare spending must validate that healthcare money transferred to provinces is actually spent on healthcare, instead of other things like on roads, (for example).

They should encourage provincial governments to increase funding, particularly in provinces where there are issues in healthcare

No, the government should not increase spending on Healthcare. The government does not know what people are going through with their health.

I think there should be no privatization of hospital or healthcare services because that would force the rich to invest in the healthcare system in Canada.

Health care is the responsibility of the provincial government. Rather than giving tax breaks to get elected they should insure the system is strong then request assistance not just so they can give money away

Normally, I would say yes, but we're already spending too much on healthcare with mediocre results. I prefer a mix system of public and private, and the sector should get as much funding as it needs, only if the they match the results of lowering waiting time, lowering price, and increasing health care quality

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

without increasing taxes , the government needs to improve the healthcare system and reduce wait times

Add a kind of conbination two tier public/private system, try implementing some strategies to improve the efficiency of healthcare services, and if nothing really improves, increase spending by small amounts.

This shouldn't be a federal issue. Provinces should stick to public funding. But the federal government should be able to step in on mis-managed provincial healthcare systems.

Only where there is a significant need (depending on province, etc.). As well, better allow for the use of privatized healthcare (that follow government regulations)

no, the issue with the healthcare system lies more in organization and where the money is spent rather than the amount of money that is being spent

The government needs to change how medical coverage is performed in Canada, involve patients in coming up with solutions rather that relying on government employees who know how to manipulate a situation

There should be no government to fund stuff as our currency shall be held physically in public without banks.

Our taxes go up then so it might not be the greatest idea. Unless the government gives people that can't affored the higher tax rates exstra money or lower tax

depends on the person who's being checked up or surgery being done and if they can pay for it or not

no but the government should make the provinces accountable for how they spend their healthcare budget

I think the federal government is spending a good amount on healthcare at this tame, I don't believe there is a need for change

Yes, but slowly

Yes and and more services should be privitized

The government and the health care industry needa to be accountable for the wasted spending and poor management

The amount we spend right now is fine

Healthcare should be able to be affordable so that everyone can have a healthy and safe life, and services should not be privatized.

Where it is prudent, yes provided it is fiscally responsible.

Depends on the national dept, so far things are good enough for me.

Yes, with conditions that proper studies are conducted by third parties with published results.

im fine with the current funding

I do't have an answer because the government should tell Canadians where all the money we give is going in the first place because if the government is already spending money on healthcare, why do we need to increase it?

Stop wasting money on layers of management and consultants, build out the direct healthcare services

I think for families that are very poor, not because they don't want to go to work but because they are working but not making enough money, the government should help them out. They can't help that they are poor.

No, increase current spending to focus on preventative, less costly healthcare and community-based services. Recommend decreased focus on tertiary interventions.

Yes, but provinces need to account for and publicize where every penny went so tax payers know they aren’t getting fleeced.

The government should pay for the citizens healthcare because if you can't afford it, you would have to live with injuries.

No, but lower the amount spent on higher income households and subsidize it to the people that need it

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

No, instead money should be spent to educate the population in better preventative health choices: diet, ingredients, exercise, hygiene, safe sex, etc.

add more spending for people following the rule if you not wearing a helmet on a bike then the government dont pay for you but if you are then they pay for you.

We should only reduce bureaucratic barriers and modernize the system

It should only reduce bureaucracy

i guess i’m satisfied w it

I am satisfied with the current spending on healthcare

Hospitals need to charge chronic users of emergency services for non urgent visits or repeat visits for same.

They should increase spending on healthcare, especially dental, but also add private systems to make room in the free ones.

Get rid of the bureaucracy and administration and ensure more of the money spent goes to actual health care providers

It's good the way it is

More funding hinged on provinces doing their part. Funding should be targeted for infrastructure and technology

Im fine with the current system

Only streamline the system and get rid of bureaucracy

One of the only things Canada's known for is healthcare. So we should at least have a proper healthcare system.

Ler the free market decide. There will be more competition and this will result in higher quality of care, lower costs to the indvidual and family while also lowering taxes stolen by the government.

They should stop putting money into private health care that they take from the public health funding for hospitals.

it should remain the same

Yes and take control of health care from the provinces.

They should spend money on getting better heathcare, and not use canadians and test dummies

i think it is good how it is right now

Adjust spendings to inflation

Only if they can afford it

no just make people work for their money and tell them to get back to work so we can have decent healthcare again

Yes, and the healthcare system should cover everything.

Yes, so a two tiered system can be implemented

yes and allow privatization

No, but funding should be redistributed

No, they should decrease spending on healthcare because if you are in the hospital and have to pay for healthcare and it's expensive just get the hell out of this damn gorgeous canadian country.

yes and dissabled people should be less over looked (mental health and nerodivergenty should also be looked at.

Just leave it How it is

i don’t have a say.

Maybe hire more people to lower wait times

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.

Again im not gonna say something stupid

It should all be privatized

is good enough

No, I'm satisfied with the amount of money spent on healthcare

No, current spending should be better applied

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

Yes, But only for prevention to save money down the road

About the same as now

Public and private health care equally must be increased spending on

Fix the healthcare system

Yes, the health and well-being of our citizens should be top priority, and should receive more federal funding.

Yes, but start the process of creating a two tier system

Should be free

The health care system needs better personal, that, cannot be fixed with money but better education and screening of doctors, nurses, all medical personnel and administrators.

We should fund all life saving procedure for Canadian citizens, all elective procedures should be out of the individuals own pocket.

Not of interest

Its good enough since healthcare in Canada is free

no. it needs to be a not for profit industry as well

let em die

I am satisfied with the spending now.

No, the money should be spent more efficiently with less waste (such as irrelevant land holdings)

stay as is
