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

Less. Nurses and other employees should not be allowed to work for private agencies. We should increase scholarships for nursing and medical students, especially in isolated regions. But, we have to invest money to make the system better. We should not have to wait 12 hours in a waiting room. I also do not want to have to remortgage my house to pay for medical bills, so privatization.

More, maintaining public system but allowing private institutions to exist to both release pressure from public services and economic competition.

There should be no privatization of health care in Canada. Funding for health care should be expanded and evidence based training for doctors should be expanded. This should include Eye exams, mental health access and Dental health.

New Zealand has a fantastic way of triaging services so that ERs are not open to public walk in, patients are triaged by phone to appropriate services to reduce wait times and ambulances or other driver services bring patients to the appropriate Public Health Service and not always to the hospital! This reduces public spending in healthcare and reduces wait times. Also nurse practitioners should be able to have their own practices free from physicians.

people with privatized insurance should be covered completely by their insurer, as opposed to the half assery happening to my partner and i right now because its expected that we can get a doctor via public healthcare but we can not because the system is SO overloaded right now that finding adequate healthcare is difficult.

Less, there shouldn’t be privatization of healthcare. However, public health care workers should be paid more and given better working conditions.

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

Give people private option that is their right and liberty is morenimoortwnt that anything else. However imorve public system by asking more merit crating reward doctors who save lives infrease their salaries Gove them tax cuts punsoh bad doctors and nurses. Import best Healthcare workers from the world by improving working conditions .

More but private having to accept the social insurance card while receiving what it costs in the public service for the same act/service

Less privatization and run our free national healthcare like a business. If people abuse the system by using it for every little thing then that's a problem. Stop kiboshing the fact that we have free healthcare. We pay much in the way of taxes to have this system but it should be run more like a private company where we reduce expenses and increase efficiency and effectiveness. If people with big money want to pay to have private that is their prerogative.

Less management more floor workers

Less, private should be at the expense of private users/the private industry. You shouldn't privatize something, you should create something new that is privatized

Privatize, but heavily regulate the sector, provide no question coverage to low income brackets, and act as an insurer.

A hybrid of both public and private options should be made available. Public healthcare spending should be reviewed to ensure maximum spending efficiency. Doing so would actually cut the amount of money needed to properly fund healthcare. Quality>Quantity.

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

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

More, but there should still be government funding for public healthcare.

Hospitals should be independently-run and non-profit, and the government should have a monopoly on health insurance.

More where it makes sense for example where the lacks of doctors and nurses is the most pronounce. It can be temporary as well. For instance if there are less doctor in cancer at the moment then open up the private industry to take the patients. If not necessary then don't do it

More privatization, with heavy regulation and cost control as a public utility.

This is a provincial choice, not federal.

Services shouldn’t be privatized

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, I would say the health care system needed to be reformed. The results they provided was not accurate to the amount of taxation being allocated towards it. Healthcare spending mistakes did not have consequences to those that made them and a lot of money was not spent with the intent of providing quality health care to communities. Though I am not for privatization in healthcare,

neutrel leave it alone

Well funded public hospital

Better balance of the two. Options for all.

New health care system This one doesn't work

Let the people decide

Theoretically I don't like the idea but in reality, public services cannot meet all the need.

Less but revamp the entire system

More, and transfer the responsability to health cooperatives

Hire more doctors!

More, but give health care funds to those in need.

More, but make sure the system remains equitable and accessible to all Canadians regardless of income.

more funds in education than healthcare services would be better

Less, however Improve the service quality of public health services

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

Optimize fund allocation

Less, however those who are high income earners should be encouraged and in some non-emergency cases be obligated to use private clinics or hospitals

Government subsidies should be used for medications of rare diseases and nationalization of companies that are making too much money from healthcare

The same, but with less corruption

Larger investment into public health care sectors but allowing citizens to decide between privatized healthcare or public healthcare.

I'm for whatever option cuts down wait times and puts less strain on hospital and healthcare workers

Hospitals should be run more like businesses and focus on service. Make it a competitive secteur. Make it a well regulated public private partnership. Managed by a private corporation but funded by government.

I was born with a condition and require blood products. The healthcare system gets clogged with people that abuse the free system yes, this is where privitization would be benificial but for me to have to pay for my medicine would bankrupt me. However, I do believe my life is not more important then the next.

Yes, more privatization. Example: $25 user fee for emergency room visits.

There should be both options and private sector should be affordable.

Allow more people to aquire health insurance with interest rates

There should not be less privatization of healthcare. However, the governement must increase public healthcare.

all private instead you have private health insurance for those who can pay and public health insurance for thos who are average like in australia

Reformation, too much negligence and abuse goes on.

I hate big pharma

Do both. Increase resources in an already poorly managed system (IE Quebec) and introduce privatization for competitiveness. Allocate resources towards healthcare better. Reduce bureaucrats FTEs and replace with nurses and doctors., pay them better.

More, but subsidized by the government so healthcare is free for citizens

Just make it easier to access if you add more because not everyone can afford it
