Should there be more or less privatization of hospital and healthcare services?

More, and doctors should not be penalized or stripped of their licences for looking at alternative therapies for patients

I need to educate myself before forming an opinion

If there is privatization on healthcare services. The expenses should be a 100% tax write off.

There can be both private and public however the public healthcare system needs to change therefore need for more funding

2 tier system

a little more

There should be an option for private healthcare but keep free healthcare

yes i like how it is but if someone really needs something they should try and make a way for them to getting it

The choice should exist to either accept wait times in the current system or pay more for expedited services.

If private entities want to own hospital that should be allowed and the government should be involved only if necessary

There are too many bosses and managers making big salaries to do very little. Start cutting from the top. Take the politicians completely out of health care.

The entire healthcare system needs severe reformation. My home town of Prince Rupert has started losing physicians at an alarming rate.

More to increase compatible prices so it is more accessible yet maintain current government facilities as a precautionary measure

Both, if there are people that can afford it, this is allow people who aren't able to afford it to wait less as well.

Less privatized, more funding for the healthcare system. Clinics and hospitals are overwhelmed. They should receive the support they need so that they can serve everyone.

The system should reflect Quebec's decision in Chaoulli v Quebec where patients should have the right to seek timely care and use private insurance if their lives depend on it - otherwise the public system should prevail

There should be a balance between the two, allowing people who can afford private healthcare the option. Pay should fluctuate so doctors do not flood to private healthcare

If one can afford to pay for Healthcare issues they be able to... this would decrease the current burden in emergency rooms

More, and if the public health care system doesn’t help in time they are defaulted to the private system at the governments expense.

Federate healthcare into regional budget- allow for regions to explore expanding private clinics at their own pace.

Less just break up patents allow for open all drugs to be open patents and provide free information on legal natural alternatives, and crowd funded 3d printed drugs

If we lowered taxes by 50% and people got to keep their money, I would say privatize it. But if the government is going to continue to keep the high tax rates AND make us pay for healthcare out of pocket, then no.

Less, and introduce capitation fees as well as transparency of pricing for perscription and hospital bills.

More, and provide healthcare vouchers and healthcare tax credits for low income individual/families.

More, only if the free public services remain equally available. You should be able to pay for a privatized one to get quicker service. Or just go to the free public one and wait it out.

I am in favor of a two party health care system. I believe those wishing access to public healthcare should be able to receive it, and the same for those looking for privatized healthcare.

More privatization but ensure it is standardized that way those who can pay can get off wait lists to serve those who can't pay quicker

I support a mix of both public and private healthcare services. However we need the healthcare services to cover not just physical, but also mental, dental, eye care etc

Government should have strong health care for all but if you want to seek a different doctor go for it

depends on if they are a close family member, and the patient should be asked who they don't want knowing about them.

I like what they are doing right now but I do think they should take patients more seriously and get them they help they think they need.

Everyone should have free healthcare and have the option to pay for privatized healthcare services to get faster treatment.

for me it's an intermediate posture for example it's important to have privatization so the people who have success can go and check their self with a private doctor but then if it gets more and more the majority of doctors are going to choose to work at private and that would be a huge problem in the public services and not all the people can allow to a private doctor.

More, Healthcare should be controlled by the people working in healthcare but still be able to get the funding they need from the government. (financial support)

Non emergency patients should not be going to the ER

more, as this helps others that needs immediate medical attention and makes it easier to access by paying.

More, a two-tiered system would benefit everyone.

I think they should also implement a non-government funded hospital for easier access as our free healthcare can take some time, I think that this can help a lot of people who need immediate attention without having to wait. But, also keep our free healthcare.

Create a good balence between privatized and public health care to reduce load on public health care.

Mix between both. Private health care for those who can afford to take strain off socialized health care

More privatization of specialized services, and less privatization of general healthcare, but also more government-funded programs provided to help those who require more specialized healthcare services, and more government funding provided to Generalized healthcare.

Only some for rich people who can afford it

More privatization for those willing to indulge, while still maintaining and supporting the public system

Less privatization, recognizing there is a place for private sector in the health system (but they should always bill the province and never the patient).

I am in the middle on this topic.

Privatization can equal specialization and more opportunities for providers and patients but I think service fees should be capped and paid for from health care transfers.

People should be able to spend their own money on health services if they choose, they can do the same with almost anything else.

entirely privatized like america doesn't

This is not a yes or no question
