Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare

Do you support a single-payer healthcare system?

8>8 Personal answerWe should keep universal healthcare but also offer a fast-lane private system for people in urgent need of medical care and need to see a specialist.

8>8 Personal answerWe 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.
