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

more private services created less equality, worsened universal health care and showed no long term improvement in health outcome

Both should be available but there should be more competition with private healthcare so prices go down.

I don't really care about the privacy state of the healthcare system, as long as everyone gets treatment and there us no gatekeeping or anything preventing certain medicines from being accessed.

More privatization, but not at the expense of the public healthcare system, which should receive greater funding.

More spending if effective. Some privatization similar to the Netherlands or Japan. Not an American model. Just make it work without being unaffordable.

more however that is for severe and complicated cases where it allows a patient who doesn't get attention fast enough to be treated however, the price should not be ridiculously high and should be out to the common public as well. If we can fix the issue of our healthcare system being short staffed and we have more resources, I dont think there is any need more private healthcare. There should be a system in place where the government can compensate specific people so the people who have a hard time paying for it can pay for it.

I think that there should be both options. There was some circumstances that makes the patient more comfortable.

More, but tread slowly.

make it still the same they have there own responsibility

Privitization of healthcare could potentially cut down on wait times for healthcare but it should remain affordable. Privitazation of healthcare should not be able to get such egregious prices as the United States where a single ambulance ride could finacially cripple a family.

more but it should not affect the ones that are can not afford it

Dual system with both private and public healthcare

Dual system, private for those that want to pay and public for those that cannot

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

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

More, but there should still be free healthcare services, but for those who are in a hurry there can be privatized healtchare services.

Government should privatize the healthcare but as well as the healthcare should be equitable for everyone. Money should not be the reason behind someone's death.

There should be more privatization and high fee for service to subsidize government funding

Very nuanced; some elements, but not others

More yet more money needs to go into public health.

There should be a privitization of certain ascpects of the healthcare system, along with increased funding, support, and oversight from the government.

People with bad diseases should be prioritized

Allow citizens to pay if they want faster services but not require them to (slower services)

I would like to keep the hospitals the way they are and add private hospitals. I think it would be nice if you have benefits to get quicker and better service at a private hospital; however, it's important that we don't decline in public service as it is a very special and important component to canadians to have free health care. All in all more options wont hurt as long as the public sector does not decline.

Public health care with a private alternative

More of both.

Health care should be a priority for all. Everyone should have equal opportunity to heal.

Some private should be available

Use private sector where it makes sense to better deliver gov funded services

More but not at the expense of those who cannot pay.

More where the current system cannot keep up with demand

More of both. You should be able to have the choice, but free healthcare should always be readily available to those who cannot afford private. People who have excess money should be able to pay for quicker and additional services.

Yes private can be an option but always federal universal health care

In some cases it is important. We should not always hand healthcare over to private companies though

I believe some level of status quo should be continued. There are certain benefits to some level of privatization but it should remain limited.

Privatized healthcare should be an available option, but government-funded healthcare should remain as the primary provider.

A 2 tiered system. Have some private hospitals, but the revenue created could be put into the public system. It can pay doctors a percentage more wages but not highly inflated, that way private hospitals can’t poach all the public ones away. I think people who know the system abuse it. The hospital is Healthcare, not life care. By life care I mean, seniors should not be dumped by their families and refuse to pick them up. Hospitals are becoming more like “long-term cares.” The problem is they are old, not sick. People need to save for their retirement. Everyone is born, ever…  Read moreyone dies. The cycle of life. I think there needs to be some help for seniors. But I think to many people avoided saving for life after Retirement.. Retirement age should not be limited to 65, people are living longer now, this needs to be a factor. if someone wants to work to 75 and is healthy, we should let them. There should be protections, so families can’t steal seniors money. The money they have should be allocated for their Retirement,, so they can live comfortably with what they have saved.

The money they have should be allocated for their Retirmemt, so they can live comfortably with what they have saved.

More without completely tuning our system

More, but allow for consumers to choose between private and public

Continue with public health care, however, have more opportunities for private health care.

have private hospitals as an option for people who can pay but also have governmentally funded free healthcare for evryone

There should be a balance of private funded, and government funded hospital, and helath care system.

Private healthcare should be an option as well

Hard question to answer. You could argue that since healthcare is so easily accessible in Canada, it is great because everyone with insurance has easy access, but then, since it is so easily accessible, it makes it difficult to prioritize needs for those in bad condition and whatnot. I'd say keep it as it is, but definitely increase government funding.

I feel that it should be equal

Yes providing the public health care service is not reduced.

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.

There should be a balanced support of the healthcare system via privatization and government funding
