Electoral District (2011):
These active users have achieved an understanding of common concepts and the history regarding the topic of Healthcare Privatization
@B4LSJ5X 6 days6D
More privatization but with STRICT checks and balances and mandatory 50/50 time split for physicians between private and public systems
@B4LCGCB6 days6D
Maybe a flat fee of a small amount that can help with funding but some people really struggle in this day and age to afford anything. Hard to answer
@B4KRLDX7 days7D
There should be privatization of some hospitals, but not all. I believe there should be that option for people who could afford it, although there still needs to be an option for those who can’t. The healthcare system is terrible!
@B2VJV6RConservative2mos2MO
There is a problem with wait times but privatizing health care should not be allowed completely it should be a human right
@9HV8TJZ1yr1Y
Some privatization and more funding for training new doctors and nurses tied to increased class sizes
@9FXFB4W2yrs2Y
More, Healthcare should be controlled by the people working in healthcare but still be able to get the funding they need from the government. (financial support)
@9FP299G2yrs2Y
Make it so that they have freedom and can ask for help.
@9FDNLRLNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Have options for both private and public healthcare.
@9F992B4Libertarian2yrs2Y
Mix between both. Private health care for those who can afford to take strain off socialized health care
@9F4CT6J2yrs2Y
Private services with government funding
@9D8647BConservative2yrs2Y
Mixture of private and public Healthcare
@96BHBSG3yrs3Y
More to give individual organizations the ability to better manage their needs, however, funded by the government as to maintain Canadians right to free healthcare services.
@8VTWG8B4yrs4Y
Less. No privatization. Just pay your Healthcare more.
@8VS94F44yrs4Y
more - create a 2-tiered healthcare system so that people who can afford it can pay, thereby alleviating waitlist burden for those who cannot. This also funnels more money back into the system. Doctors would only be eligible to earn a percentage of their income from private practices (<50%), thereby ensuring that the best do not completely vacate public health systems
More, but encouraging those who can afford it to use the private system to ease the cost to the government.
@8VMDR7D4yrs4Y
Healthcare should be kept at the federal level which would save a ton of money and also prevent discrepancies in care from province to province. The fact that someone in northwestern Ontario cannot get cancer treatments 2 hours away in Winnipeg is shameful.
@8V88PR54yrs4Y
System needs to modernized and policy harmonized inter provincially to allow private public partnerships work
@8TVLQ2H4yrs4Y
More, but provide funding for private health insurance plans
@8THDJDWNew Democratic4yrs4Y
The government should provide robust public health care, but also allow private providers to offer services
@8T367HZ4yrs4Y
Make privatization an option for those who want it while still offering universal healthcare as is
@8T2Z86W4yrs4Y
Both, there should be some more private facilities and more free health care
@8S4WJ38Conservative4yrs4Y
More, But only for serious conditions and injuries. Smaller conditions and injuries should be subsidized to a lesser degree
@8NZWYH64yrs4Y
No privitized health care at all. All health care should be nationalized as this is a human right and should never be for profit.
@8NR4WFB4yrs4Y
More privatization for electives and more funding for public health care.
@8L4XB3N4yrs4Y
there should be generous private and public health options
@9C55ZTK2yrs2Y
I agree that there should be social health care for those who cant pay for it, but for those who can pay like the rich and wealthy should have to pay
@92BV8FL3yrs3Y
More, but only if there are separate and equal resources for public and private such that the wait times decrease for both and quality of care is the same.
@9D5HV3N2yrs2Y
Canadians should have the freedom to choose between a private healthcare insurer or to participate in the socialized healthcare system, and if the private option is chosen those Canadians should not have to pay into the socialized healthcare system.
@9HR86B31yr1Y
Vulnerability being or exposure of victims being a key point in this becoming privatization orientation but get lost in translation or forgot
@B4PNX6S1 day1D
The current healthcare system has many problems, but I also do not support fully privatizing healthcare as it is something that should be a given, right
