Restructure the current system, pay family doctors instead of them running the clinic and take the load off the hospitals

 @969WBZXfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and cut back on military spending until needed.

 @95PGFB4New Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

health care should be free every where around the world.

 @8QCQ3PJfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

On certain things

 @8Q8NHDPfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only temporarily to make the healthcare system more efficient with less.

 @98NV4M9Communistfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

yes but not too much money

 @93KJD86from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Our healthcare system is so pathetic it needs such a revamp. Nurses and doctors don't need to be paid more they need their jobs to become easier. If we need nurses why is Canada not training Canadian citizens to be nurses. If it was shorten my waiting time in the ER and if everybody had their own GP. I think we could temporarily pay to educate people to put them in those positions.

 @8VMHH28from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

increase it by a bit but not a lot

 @maddypaigemfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, for essential things.

 @8TWQ85SNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

yes, and do no privatize any service that is essential

 @8MM5WZXfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

yes and no because it would improve todays medicine but also no because we sadly cant afford much more spending

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.
