Privatizing healthcare harms the middle and lower class for the benefit of a small minority of Canadians. Quite simply, access to healthcare is a human right; thus all people should have free and equal access to it. The privatization of healthcare would result in patients who may not need care as urgently over those in dire need solely due to them possessing greater wealth. The result would be innocent and equally-deserving people suffering and dying because wealthy individuals put their own needs over those of others. Instead of privatizing healthcare, all medical treatments and prescriptions should be free for all Canadians regardless of socio-economic status.

If per say someone only makes enough money in their job to provide food for their families and doesn’t have enough money to pay for healthcare, it wouldn’t be fair for them as they might only be able to take on that one job.

Making health care accessible to everyone means making it available to those who need care the most.

Once immigrants receive their citizenship, or even before that since they are on Canadian soil, they should have access to this healthcare as the law covers everything on Canadian soil.

Angell 2008, 37% of Americans went without care they need vs 12% of Canadians, and life expectancy of Americans is now 2.5 years shorter than that of Canadians and have fewer hospital beds and nurses

Say you're working to help provide for a family that is either underage, or unable to help contribute due to reasonable cause. It shouldn't be fair to make individuals pay for their health.

When everybody is healthy, everybody can contribute to society in a more productive way. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege and everybody should be entitled to the same quality healthcare regardless of their status.

They should agree because there are people who can't spend hours at a hospital waiting room especially on minimum wage were as rich people have the time to wait because maybe there not working as much or as hard and they can afford things like child care or a nanny but some people can't

"It ensures that people receive necessary medical treatment, regardless of their ability to pay, and promotes social equity by making healthcare accessible to all Canadians." Carrying and support
@9GTNSCS5mos5MO
Evident through the circumstances occurring post-covid, Healthcare accessibility is a concern and due to the deficiency in healthcare workers, Canadians are struggling to access healthcare services and appointments adequately. Healthcare workers are under pressure, thus resulting in degrading quality. Public Healthcare has its many problems that require attention and therefore, Healthcare Privatization is of lesser priority.

For-profit healthcare has been proven to cost more while providing poor quality of care. A portion of money spent on for-profit clinics must got to shareholders, and clinics may cut back on services, quality checks, and equipment to save money and increase profits
