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.

 @9MFQG58from Saskatchewan  answered…11mos11MO

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

 @B46JNPDfrom Alberta  answered…4 days4D

Cut the waste in healthcare system and run it like a business. Privatize services where it makes sense to do so but not require the individual to pay the costs upfront.

 @B46DY7Tfrom Ontario  answered…4 days4D

Yes, but healthcare needs to to include services for mental health care such as counselling that should also be covered under OHIP. This is a health issue and we also need to allocate money for prevention instead of just disease care as this will help keep people out of the hospital. Government also needs to stand up to the pharmaceutical industries.

 @B45YBP6from Ontario  answered…4 days4D

Spend more on preventative and proactive healthcare, which will reduce reactive healthcare (the current system)

 @B45BC94from Alberta  answered…6 days6D

Yes, and implement some private systems to relive pressure on public system. As long as public system provides equal care as private system.

 @B43SXTX from Alberta  answered…1wk1W

Increase funding but focus on efficiency, ensuring money is spent on frontline services rather than bureaucracy.

Prioritize key areas like mental health, rural healthcare, and long-term care for seniors.

Encourage innovation and reform (e.g., digital healthcare, better hospital management) alongside funding increases.

Consider mixed public-private models to ease demand without fully privatizing care.

Biden retaliated against a Dem who called for him to step aside

Rep. Hillary Scholten, a first-term Democrat who flipped a traditionally Republican seat in 2022, was booted last week from from a coordinated effort between the the Biden campaign and the state party to elect candidates up and down the ticket, according to four people with knowledge of the situation, who were granted anonymity to speak candidly about private discussions.It happened soon after she called for Biden to step aside, those people said, which angered many Democrats behind the scenes. The Biden campaign was contacted by POLITICO Wednesday evening; Scholten was reinstated Thursday morning.“Rep. Scholten is welcome at the coordinated campaign and we look forward to campaigning with her this fall,” said Mia Ehrenberg, a spokesperson for the Biden campaign, when asked about Scholten’s removal from the coordinated campaign.The initial decision to remove Scholten from the joint effort — which would have essentially cut her off from the combined field effort between the presidential, Senate and House races — came from the Michigan state party, according to two people familiar with the discussions. If she had remained excluded from the coordinated effort, it could’ve meant that when Democratic organizers were campaigning in her district, they would tout Biden and the party’s Senate nominee — but not Scholten.The Michigan Democratic Party declined to comment. But two people familiar with discussions said Scholten had specifically infuriated state leaders when she spoke out against Biden — on the same day that the president was already visiting Michigan — without informing them of her plans, according to the two people.“This decision was made in Wilmington, full stop,” a Democratic operative who’s worked on competitive House races said. “Punishing her isn’t just petty and vindictive, it’s self-defeating.”An official for the Biden campaign denied that: “This did not come from Wilmington.”
