Provincial, but with a public/ private hybrid model.

Provincial for working Canadians and Canadian seniors that did work in Canada, but federal for foreigners new to the country and not working.

Both levels of government, too many in hospital need more facilities with long term care mix of private and public combined

 @B4N2F7Dfrom Alberta  answered…1wk1W

Both, and both should have streams of federal & provincial funding. No privatization of our healthcare system.

 @9F928G6from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Both. Healthcare is a human right.

 @9F3YN58from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Both! We need all the help we can get here

Stay provincial so poor federal leadership can't destroy it without obvious imbalance being evident. Provinces should be obliged to put federal tax dollars provided for healthcare, INTO healthcare without exception. Absolutely NO to privatization!

 @9T3VJQSfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

I prefer a hybrid system where certain aspects of healthcare should be handled provincially, with Federal oversight to ensure there is regulation to not privatize our system. Healthcare should be a right not a privilege. I think a country's government should be responsible for ensuring our most vulnerable citizens are taken care of.

Trump Picks Fox New Host For Top Security Role

President-elect Donald Trump has named Pete Hegseth, an Army veteran and Fox News host, as his choice for secretary of defense and John Ratcliffe, a hawkish former House lawmaker, to lead the Central Intelligence Agency, placing loyalists in two key national security positions.The selection of defense secretary continues Trump’s practice of turning away from civilians with high-level national security experience to run the Pentagon or to retired officers, which he tried early in his first term when he chose retired Marine Gen. Jim Mattis to run the department.“Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country. Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First,” Trump said in a statement confirming his selection. In a separate statement, Trump called Ratcliffe a “warrior for Truth and Honesty” and credited him for exposing what Trump called “fake Russian collusion” accusations against his 2016 campaign.If confirmed by the Senate, Hegseth would take over the federal government’s biggest department with a budget that last year reached $850 billion, overseeing a workforce of nearly three million civilian workers and military service members, many deployed around the world. He has never held a senior government post, an issue likely to be raised at least by Democrats ahead of a vote on his nomination.Hegseth, 44, is a National Guard veteran from Minnesota who has been a commentator on Fox News for the past decade. He once led an advocacy group that sought to privatize healthcare provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs, leading Trump to consider him as VA secretary during his first term.

Wealthy Skiers Furious After Labor Strike Ruins $20K Vacations

Vacationers at the largest ski resort in the United States were outraged over the three hour long waits for lifts caused by a worker strike.The week after Christmas is usually the busiest time of the year for skiing, and that is no exception for Utah's Park City Resort, the biggest ski area in the US by slope length.On December 27 the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association went on strike against Vail Resorts, the owner of Park City ski mountain, and demanded a living wage.Despite a January 4 message from Vail claiming the mountain was 'open and operating safely despite the patrol union strike,' skiers have noticed huge delays in using the facilities.In his post, he included a picture of the obscenely long line he had been stuck in for the chairlift. It costs $288 for a single-day lift ticket at Park City Resort, while for children aged 5 to 12, parents will need to fork over $187.A video posted to a local news outlet's Instagram showed a line for a lift winding through a huge section of the resort. People carrying all their gear were seen waiting with no end in sight.'You have less than 20 percent of the mountain available to ski, but they’re not limiting the amount of guests or consumers they’re allowing on the ski mountain, which made it very unsafe and very challenging for, I think, everyone,' Nystrom later told ABC4.com in an interview.As of Monday morning, nearly 30 percent of the mountain's trails are open, while about 60 percent of the lifts are operational.'I think the majority of guests are aligned with the workers and the employees in saying, "hey we need to work together to figure out how we can encourage Vail Resorts to come to the bargaining table,"' Nystrom said.He added that because of his poor experience, he'll be 'looking elsewhere than a Vail-managed resort and mountain' for his next ski trip.In a December 23 Instagram post the union for the ski patrollers explained the goals behind the strike.The union wants fair compensation for 'the experienced and skilled senior patrollers' and better benefits, including a healthcare stipend, accrued paid time off, holiday pay and parental leave.They also want the hourly base wage for a ski patroller to be raised from $21 to $23. As part of that they demanded an 'annual cost of living adjustment.'
