Increase in healthcare funding will lead to a stronger and healthier healthcare professionals, which in turn will lead to better health care being provided to individuals.
@9F84N362yrs2Y
If we lowered taxes and interest rates in other places like the environment and large corporations we can put more funding to healthcare
@9FNB6QF2yrs2Y
increasing healthcare funding is crucial to improve access, reduce wait times, invest in preventive care, address the aging population, and respond effectively to health emergencies.
@B3ZWZR23wks3W
Our healthcare system needs more funding. There is too much strain and stress on nurses and doctors, funding would allow us to hire more or encourage more people to get in the medical field.

The world health organization has reduced polio cases by 99% since its inception saving millions from paralysis and death. Measles vaccination has also averted approximately 93.7 million deaths which highlights the profound impact of sustained funding on child mortality rates.
Canadians have a life expectancy of 82 years which is higher than the OECD average and the economic impact of healthcare spending is significant. In 2024 Canada spent $372 billion or approximately $9054 per Canadian accounting for 12.4% of the nations GDP.

Wait times are already to high, and healthcare areas are understaffed, lowering the budget for healthcare industries would just make those problems worse
@9PZKHL39mos9MO
Not enough Doctors to currently handle the case load of patients in need. Especially specialized needs.
@9M2CKY811mos11MO
An increase in healthcare is crucial, people wait hours upon hours in the waiting room to be seen, nobody in this world will be healthy forever, healthcare should be the top priority, and funding is beneficial.
@9KSJFV91yr1Y
More than 78% is funded through tax payers money and the government only pays 22%. Of the government increased their side of funding we could have better healthcare situation.
@9FKJ4GDNew Democratic2yrs2Y
50% of Canadians had to wait two hours or more to be seen in an emergency room. This can be the result of the over usage of the emergency services.
@9FFFSF22yrs2Y
Wait time, one of the most pressing healthcare issues, will decrease significantly. People shouldn't wait more than 2 hours in an emergency department. They should be free to avail of services from private healthcare providers or facilities.
