Should healthcare be a provincial or federal responsibility?

no healthcare walk it off

it should be under privet companies

Both. Healthcare is a human right.

doesn't matter but should be covered

Health care is a Federal responsibility. The health of Canadians is the Canadian governments responsibility.

Both! We need all the help we can get here

I prefer a hybrid system where certain aspects of healthcare should be handled provincially, with Federal oversight to ensure there is regulation to not privatize our system. Healthcare should be a right not a privilege. I think a country's government should be responsible for ensuring our most vulnerable citizens are taken care of.

It should be shared with many checks and balances to make sure neither one has the ability to dismantle or change it. No privatization and a lot of accountability from both the feds and the provincial govt. Whent he feds send money it should all go to Healthcare!

I feel like it does not matter if it is provincial or federal, just as long as it is available to every citizen.

The constitution clearly lays out that healthcare is a provincial responsibility. The Canada Health Act usurps this delegation, but Healthcare is Provincial.

Both should work together to ensure higher standards, better way of pay, and equality within the healthcare system.

Both especially for “Status Indians” who fall through the cracks and are denied important medical services and equipment

It should stay as it is but with more funding.

keep it the same.

privatized. people act like our healthcare is free but our taxes are nearly the highest in the world

What's the difference?

whoevers better at it

Both Both is good

a responsibility of both the federal and provincial governments to manage funding and other decisions

whatever does a better job and is cheaper

Doesn’t matter provincial or federal, it needs to be better. Less of a budget care type and more of a total care it saves time and money for both parties during the treatment. And people in ER for sore throat etc ( little non urgent things) should be turned away by tri-age and be sent to go into a walk-in even if it’s provided in a different wing of the hospital.

Both, federal and provincial standards (high) and equality of care financially, fairly, humanely, ethically, healthily, and morally, need to be met.

healthcare should be given to everyone and taken care of by the government

Should be funded by All sectors of government

Both the federal and provincial governments should share certain responsibilities.

Both provincial and federal.

I believe it should be both.

Both in equal measure

Both, it should be situational.

Private and the two levels

Health is responsibility of both governments

Both, coordinate if possible

Healthcare is both federal and provincial responsibility

Both. Country-wide funding from the federal government while the provincial government funnels the funding to the health departments where it's needed.

Federal, for standard of care

EQual both

Allow people that want to pay for better and faster health care have the option to.

Federal to create a standard but allow provinces to increase the funding with provincial funds.

Both, team effort

Provincial except for things that affect the whole nation like the pandemic where you need consistent approaches

Work together

Doesn’t matter.

50/50 share

Neither, allow people to provide healthcare for themselves.

Both, and regulated federally, so standards and laws are same across Canada.

Federal and the same benefits available across the board! BC has NO hearing aid assistant. Why are some Canadians getting aid and not others?

Federal and the same benefits available across the board! BC has NO hearing aid assistant. Only one of two provinces in Canada? Why?

We should privatize and have a backup government assistance for people that are unable to pay. (With strict screening so it doesn’t get abused)

Provincial first, but have ability to add federal to cover anything else/emergency.

Regardless, healthcare should be owned by employees and stakeholders.

Provincial and municipal

A matrix with Healthcare records available no matter where one goes for care in Canada.

Federal, Quebec shouldn't charge other provinces to receive medical help.

Provincial, but with an expected standard across Canada

Regardless it should be public

It should be the responsibility of both the provincial government and federal government

Responsibility of both - funding included

Both, but federally mandated standards for efficacy and not just safety.

It should be provincial with some federal oversight.

Provincial but with provincial and federal funding.

Should be fully private.

i fear the day the governemnt is the peoples dialysis machine. We should only be using it for medication tyat helps the mentally ill dieing and the poor

Both Provincial and federal

Public healthcare should be a federal responsibility.

Both free for everybody to have

Both it should be something they work on together.

Doesn't matter, either way

Should be both. Federal should fund healthcare, while the province should organize and supervise the healthcare industry.

Both should be responsible as our taxes go to both.

Why not both

Both, depending on the issue and severity

The Provincial Government should mainly be responsible if not privatized, but with more or less assistance from the Federal government. Depending on upkeep and other expenses.

Both provincial & federal, as we pay taxes to both.

Federal, though public healthcare should only be for low-income families, emergency cases, or when a special operation that is out of means for the patient is required; otherwise, they should go into private healthcare or pay some subsidies.

Both are needed to ensure eaqual playing Fields Our drug- only pharmaceutical model is bankrupting our economy. We need to include natural health systems to increase people's choice of health care

Dual model with both private and public options

whoevers better

Both of them, regardless of which one does more, it should be a big priority

Both, to prevent privatization

all. work together

It should be a responsibility of both the Federal and Provincial governments.

it should be both federal and provincial

Privatize everything

I think healthcare should be accessible to everyone.

Perhaps we need a federal universal Healthcare instead of provincial governments misappropriation of funds

Both, because it will differ depending on the situation

Regardless, Health care should NEVER be privatized

Healthcare is a topic for all and should be universal regardless

Federal. There should be an equal standard of healthcare across the entire country

No, it should be patients.

Provincial, with federally regulated standards and some funding.

Regardless, people should have the option between choosing public and private healthcare

Again, this misses the whole point.

Yes, but not the responsibility of Doug Ford.

Same thing

I think that there should be more equitable access to healthcare across the country. I think there is room in our healthcare system for private options that can help improve access by taking pressure off the public system. Other countries such as Australia have public/private systems that can be studied to determine if their models can work in Canada.

I think there are aspects that should be the responsibility of both provincial and federal, they should work together to find solutions

It should be a combination of both federal and provincial working together.

I think it should be both depending on the situation.
