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

I think we should n privatize more healthcare system because lots of Doctors are leaving Canada due less pay by the government

I feel that there should be government funding, but the option to have privatized healthcare as well.

There should be a balance between private and public healthcare. The health care system should give more autonomy to its doctors.

The government should make sure that Canadians use what ever form of healthcare they feel comfortable using. Make sure that we have a strong public healthcare system and also make sure that private options are available to those who want to use them.

The system needs an over haul and the gov't should investigate other types of healthcare offered throughout the world and determine what would Canadians benefit from...then allow the people to decide after providing information.

More into Life saving and less into personal alterations. Example, Epi pens should be covered but medical assisted transitioning should be a personal cost much like a plastic surgeries.

There should always be a a privatized sector in health care, privatized sector will bring out new tech, new medicine. However it should never replace general health care system there is a lot of people in US struggling between different types of health care system.

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.

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 privatization of somesort, but public healthcare should be the priority. Privatization for people who don't want loing wait times, and public for affordable healthcare.

I think a cool idea is to combine all medical institutions into one big company that would be a branch of government so the hospitals don’t have to pay tax lowering fees and tax burden. And then any company that over priced their medical services or drugs can be forced to lower prices or be outright confiscated then forcefully lower the price to lower fees then send out the company on the stock market so that something like that can’t happen to the company again. Just an idea I came up with.

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.

There should be the choice to choose which you want but there should only a certain amount of places open and workers aloud to work there to protect hospitals and emergency rooms

It is not necessarily a 'more or less' situation. It is almost entirely driven by invested and special interests. How would ypu propose a conversation related to this without those interests applying the most money and thus the most strident opposition to this undertaking.

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

Only some for rich people who can afford it

Mixture of private and public Healthcare

less but public healthcare systems should be improved (i.e more doctors, better services)

Add the option to pay to receive treatment faster

only if people got got covid 19 for antae vaccinating(less)

I think that we should create a private option to those who can pay for it, and make it easier for those who can’t in the public system.

I beleive that we should have more private options for when you need to take care of something that the current system can't keep up with.

Both systems should exist. There should be some private hospitals created beside government ones. Without losing the quality of the government ones.

We need the baseline medical infrastructure we have, and its a blessing, but we do need to incentivize good doctors to remain in Canada by allowing a private medical industries to grow. I think a two tiered system should exist, for people in urgent need of a health specialist. Universal access has saved more lives, but the wait times are killing people. The reduced cost of perscription drugs due to access to generic brands is amazing though.

a balanced system

More but continue to fund public health and support our health care workers while still allowing for Canadians to seek health care privately and encourage private innovation

Have more public added. But have private as option to

More and more public funding

Things like diagnostic imaging review should be privatized more. Comical visits and essential life saving services should always be public

Less but if willing to pay for whatever you need to get checked out you can do so.

The government should open specialized hospitals that would operate as private hospitals to see how it would effect the industry before privatization

Hospitals should not be privatized. although I don't see harm in privatization of other healthcare service

current system - with way more funding to bring canada onto the world map of health care and options for private too

More, and privatize the entire operation of the healthcare industry but paid for by gov't

More, giving options for people willing to pay more. Opening up space for public healthcare.

Allowed for two system to exist if the private system works then it can function on its own with out government funds and must meet or exceed the public systems standards

We should adopt a hybrid private public system. Without reducing the public system we should allow private to supplement where their is demand.

More. The people who have the money to take advantage of it, in theory, should lower the burden on public health. Also it leave an option for people who are in dire need of surgery

End medical tourism. Less middle men and no prioritizing foreigners over Canadians for med care.

There should be the option for those that wish to pay for more private healthcare to do so.

More, but the current public and private option’s access and availability should be expanded.

There should be an option for both privatized, but government funded should remain the primary source of healthcare.

The current health system is good but would be better if you could get examined faster.

Canadians should have the option of privatized Healthcare if they choose, but public Healthcare should still remain avaliable to those who can't afford private.

More, But only for serious conditions and injuries. Smaller conditions and injuries should be subsidized to a lesser degree

Should have mixed. Private and government fund for each hospital.

I think there should be both public and private

I believe that we are good for where we are right now

I don't really know the answer

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.

free healthcare is good for everyone. problem Is the healthcare will not be as good if we don't privatize it

Should be options for both public and private.

More, however regulate fees that can be charged.

We Need To Give Our Outdated Healthcare System A Serious Upgrade So It’s More Efficient & Is Less Of A Burden To Taypayers.

Should be able to have some privatization and public. Mixed use

More, we should implement a two-tier healthcare system

Yes, maybe, but it should not collide with public health care.

There shouldn’t be any because companies only care about money, they would be corrupt.

More, but rather than decreasing the current amount of public health care services, you keep it the same and increase the number or private healthcare services for those that have the resources to bypass the majority population (this would reduce wait times for both parties and allow the possibility of advanced and urgent healthcare for those that have the funds)

Both can co exist

More, I believe that the best scenario would be to have public healthcare as we do now, with the addition of private services for those that want to pay for better and faster service

Less, there should be more expert advisors to reduce redundancies and unwise healthcare decisions

less, too much money is spent on administration and very little is making it down to the public.

Should be a blend of both

More, but ensure that it is working within our universal system

More, and less government regulation

Essential Medical care should be government-funded, but non-essential medical care should not

Government healthcare should exist and there should also be a private system for those who wish to pay for it.

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

The should be a mixed system
