There are pros and cons to privatization of hospital and healthcare services. While it allows for efficiency and innovation through privatization and improves quality of care, it is difficult to implement cost control and public accountability. I believe there should be a balance by having regulated private participation or public-private partnerships.
@8SYDDSX4yrs4Y
There should be a two tier system, this would allow those who wish to pay more the opportunity for private treatment while maintaining public health for those who can't afford private. This would also significantly reduce the wait times in hospitals across the country.
@9SSVCL2New Democratic8mos8MO
We need better access to doctors and 2nd opinions. If privatized care provides people with more immediate options, it should be a choice.
If one can afford to pay for Healthcare issues they be able to... this would decrease the current burden in emergency rooms
I think that there should be options for both because the public healthcare system can be very time-consuming
@9FDNLRLNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Have options for both private and public healthcare.
@96LZ6W7New Democratic2yrs2Y
A little bit more then the current system.
@8Z9FHJ4New Democratic3yrs3Y
we need to be watching for wasteful spending and create more efficiencies where possible
@8VTHH7MNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Have a mix of both, privatized will also take help loads off waiting rooms and public hospitals
@8VQHKPV4yrs4Y
More, and be covered by mcp
@8VMB6WPNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Should be a blend, focused more on government hospitals but give people the option to pay for surgeries in private clinics if they want to.
@8VLQ8KHNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I would only say more privitization to help improve the system
@8VHM4PKNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Free health care should be a given, waiting hours to be seen by a doctor is where the problem is. We need more doctors, more initiative for people to want to be in the health care system.
@8VDDKHDNew Democratic4yrs4Y
The current level of privatisation is fine but we need more for public health care
@8V8D44RNew Democratic4yrs4Y
We should allow for a two tiered system in which peole can opt to pay for private care if they are unable to get sufficient access to care or get stuck on lengthy waitlists and need to see specialists.
@8V23KN6New Democratic4yrs4Y
More funding for public healthcare and allow a second tier of private healthcare for those who can afford it.
@8TZTPHGNew Democratic4yrs4Y
a balance. give people the choice if they have the money but still supply government funding to healthcare services
@8TVC9W3New Democratic4yrs4Y
More, as long as the quality of public health care doesn't decrease as a result.
@8THDJDWNew Democratic4yrs4Y
The government should provide robust public health care, but also allow private providers to offer services
@8TFVW57New Democratic4yrs4Y
Private public healthcare entities can work only if the private company is a non-profit, to control costs yet improve services through competition.
@8T4XK6P4yrs4Y
I want to see a mixed system between private and public health care.
@8SF3FDVNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Health care should be expanded to include medications and dental
@8SCMC9NNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Privatization of hospitals should be legal but regulated through a specific body so health care across the board is equitable and equal.
@8RQR553New Democratic4yrs4Y
I like the current system but would like to see more funding
@8R4SVN4New Democratic4yrs4Y
I think we should have both options, our current free health care system and then a private sector for those who prefer, but they won't have the same benefits as those in the free sector.
@8R4DP4M4yrs4Y
More and Less! I don't really understand this question!
@8QQZPGVConservative4yrs4Y
There should be less privatization as it is a basic human right to healthcare, and with privatization of healthcare services, there are fewer people able to afford their basic human necessities.
@8PV7XS74yrs4Y
More, but keep supporting public healthcare
@7JXT6SSNew Democratic4yrs4Y
More privatization of some healthcare, but hospitals and emergency care should never be private.
@8PDVP3G4yrs4Y
Privatize healthcare but also provide more government funding.
@8NSDXLP4yrs4Y
Option for private health care but basic coverage for everyone
@8GN4MSCNew Democratic5yrs5Y
Less wealthy citizens should be charged for services if they can afford it. People unable to fund themselves should be payed for.
@8DDJKTQ5yrs5Y
no privitization have it under control of the workers
@8CL7B3CNew Democratic5yrs5Y
I don't have enough knowledge on this issue to make response
@9CS3LQGNew Democratic2yrs2Y
More, book patients as public but with the ability to pay for separate private care to access healthcare with less wait.
@9CBYTLRNew Democratic2yrs2Y
There should be a dual system of privatized and public healthcare that both provide adequate care
@9C7YSQRNew Democratic2yrs2Y
The current system is fine, but more funding needs to be provided for government Healthcare services
@9BD6B4V2yrs2Y
Remove privatization altogether, and increase spending on healthcare so that we can build more facilities in areas that don't have enough, upgrade existing facilities, and hire more doctors and nurses.
@99FZJV7New Democratic2yrs2Y
If a privatized hospital were to take the pressure off the public system, then someone should be allowed to pay if they are willing.
@98Y77SP2yrs2Y
More, but increase funding in public healthcare.
@8VQZJTXNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Reformation, too much negligence and abuse goes on.
@8V76GNDNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Core healthcare services should be government funded and accessible to all Canadians. Canada should be producing our own prescription drugs and ensuring equitable access to all Canadians.
