Increase with direction towards more natural medicine/treatment to promote safety and reason.

Only in needed ways, and ways that would help the people in healthcare that work hard and long hours for their money, for the good of everyone.

No healthcare should be free for everyone because people are really poor these days and can barely afford to live

 @B3SBLVXfrom Ontario  answered…20hrs20H

No, improve efficiency of current system by reducing losses and provide other healthcare ressources more responsibilities

 @B3RTZM6from Manitoba  answered…1 day1D

No - but we need to evaluate how we spend money and prioritize into evidence based approaches to healthcare with high dollar per QALY.

Everyone should get "healthcare credits" that are tokens you can give any doctor. You can apply for more tokens if you get a serious health issue (like cancer). This would make it equal so there is an incentive to take care of your health.

Yes but they need to look at re-structuring management and nurses shifts. Nurses should work as teams so there is a cohesive team at all times. Re-structure processes in emergency as well

 @B3H825Kfrom Ontario  answered…2wks2W

If the spending is increased, I'd like to know where it is going to. That way we could see if it's going to waste or not. I don't really have a stance on this because I am not educated enough on this topic.

House Democrats Filibuster Flip-Flop: Keep It When the GOP’s in Charge, Kill It When We Are

Filibuster for me, but not for thee. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), an outspoken critic of the Senate filibuster, indicated Monday that she will not support axing the procedural hurdle as long as Republicans control the White House and both houses of Congress. “Am I championing getting rid of the filibuster now when the Senate has the trifecta? No,” the chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. “But had we had the trifecta, I would have been, because we have to show that government can deliver,” Jayapal added. The Senate filibuster rule, which requires a 60-vote threshold to end debate and pass most types of legislation in the upper chamber, is seen as the best chance Democrats have at blocking the adoption of President-elect Donald Trump agenda – with Republicans taking a 53-47 seat advantage in the Senate and expected to retain a slim majority in the House. Jayapal, as recently as September, was pushing to “abolish” what she called the “Jim Crow filibuster.” “The filibuster was originally created *by mistake* in 1806,” she wrote on X. “Every day we don’t abolish it is just as big a mistake.”The Washington Democrat dislikes that the procedural tool makes it difficult for progressives to ram their agenda through Congress. “It’s the filibuster OR an assault weapons ban. It’s the filibuster OR codified abortion access. It’s the filibuster OR raising the minimum wage. It’s the filibuster OR protecting voting rights. The choice is clear. Abolish the Jim Crow filibuster,” Jayapal tweeted. The progressive rep argued Monday that passing a liberal agenda would’ve “built some trust with the American people.”“If we had had control of the trifecta and gotten rid of the filibuster to pass minimum wage, to pass paid sick leave, to pass many of these things that are passing – abortion access – that are passing on ballot measures that are so popular … then I think we would have built some trust with the American people,” Jayapal argued.
