@9V796847mos7MO
Less, and provide more funding towards mental health and other dire medical needs that aren't covered under MSP
@9L8R7941yr1Y
More, and if the public health care system doesn’t help in time they are defaulted to the private system at the governments expense.
Dual system, private for those that want to pay and public for those that cannot
@9F8CVCN2yrs2Y
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).
There should be more privatization and high fee for service to subsidize government funding
@95NTYJM3yrs3Y
More, for those who can afford to go that route and have the publicly funded services available to those who can not afford privatized services.
More yet more money needs to go into public health.
@939QKGH3yrs3Y
Yes, but public services shouldn't suffer, there should be the option if people want to pay for it
Services shouldn’t be privatized
@8VTHH7MNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Have a mix of both, privatized will also take help loads off waiting rooms and public hospitals
@8VSFCQF4yrs4Y
Less privatization, funding should be spent on holistic healing for all
@8VNPJYC4yrs4Y
More, but just so people can have more than one option.
@8VLQ8KHNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I would only say more privitization to help improve the system
@8VLNBKY4yrs4Y
Same, and more privitization
@8VGVHT24yrs4Y
I don’t care, but they need to separate between health care and non medical for mental health because there mee predators looking for depressed minors and younglings just for money
@8V97Z9QLibertarian4yrs4Y
Hospitals should not be privatized. although I don't see harm in privatization of other healthcare service
@8V7SSGX4yrs4Y
Those who can afford private healthcare should have the option to get it. However, the system should not change. If anything, we need to add more funding so that more healthcare is covered. Examples being eye doctors and dentists.
@8V7C4Z7Bloc Québécois4yrs4Y
More, and transfer the responsability to health cooperatives
@8V6K47W4yrs4Y
More privatization that does not take away resources from public healthcare.
@8TWF8VM4yrs4Y
more funds in education than healthcare services would be better
@8TVYVMB4yrs4Y
More, but government funding should go up as well
@8TB93X34yrs4Y
Have both options available, government funded and private, so if I don't want to wait years for a surgery or scan etc f, I can just pay to get it done right away.
I believe some level of status quo should be continued. There are certain benefits to some level of privatization but it should remain limited.
@8T56SGM4yrs4Y
Healthcare needs to be exclusively public, but it needs to be more accessible, we need more online/distance services and more accessibility in mental healthcare
@8T367HZ4yrs4Y
Make privatization an option for those who want it while still offering universal healthcare as is
@8SYLNDP4yrs4Y
Neither, but enough private services should exist to meet the demands of those who would rather pay for services than use those provided by the public sector
@8SL99XN4yrs4Y
A double system like the U.K. could help relieve the public system somewhat.
@8SD5W3M4yrs4Y
More, but as a faster way for those with money to get processed keeping the public healthcare the same
@8R9L5NF4yrs4Y
@8R4FC774yrs4Y
I don't have an opinion on the topic.
@8QHTXTX4yrs4Y
I think that there are some situations where patients need to be held financially responsible for self-inflicted medical issues so as not to burden the entire health system.
@8Q2HQCJ4yrs4Y
Guarantee universal healthcare, but allow additional private services.
@8PYHTYK4yrs4Y
More, however I do believe everyone should have health care
@8PS4WDP4yrs4Y
There should be both and it really should be balanced
@8PK87HQ4yrs4Y
There should be both public and private healthcare.
@8K7877X4yrs4Y
You should be able to choose private or public but have more funding in public
@9CLG8BR2yrs2Y
More, there should be an increase of privatization in hospitals and clinics however still have public medical provisions open. It should be by choice where a person wishes to go for the service and what they can afford.
@9CBYTLRNew Democratic2yrs2Y
There should be a dual system of privatized and public healthcare that both provide adequate care
@9C2K6S82yrs2Y
The current system is satisfactory however more government funding is required to make the system more efficient
@9B834742yrs2Y
More, but only if it help fill the gaps in healthcare and and incentivizes doctors to come to Canada
@8VQZJTXNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Reformation, too much negligence and abuse goes on.
@8TG999K4yrs4Y
One should have the right to choose to pay for some services.
@8R5BZB54yrs4Y
More privatized hospitals but they should be allowed to take a combination of federal health insurance and private health insurance.
@8PQMTNVLibertarian4yrs4Y
Government healthcare should exist and there should also be a private system for those who wish to pay for it.
@8KSPPR94yrs4Y
More but with more government subsidization
