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…23hrs23H

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

 @B3RTZM6from Manitoba  answered…2 days2D

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

 @B3LH5QWfrom British Columbia  answered…7 days7D

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.

Horror in Northern Gaza: U.S. Questions Israel After Civilians Slaughtered in Residential Attack

An Israeli strike on a residential building in northern Gaza killed dozens of people early Tuesday, the territory’s emergency service said, in the latest attack to cause mass casualties in the area since Israel renewed its offensive against Hamas in the north.The Palestinian Civil Defense, the emergency service, said at least 55 people were killed in the strike in the town of Beit Lahia. Gaza’s health ministry said at least 93 people were dead, including 25 children. The Israeli military said in a statement that it was “aware of reports that civilians were harmed” in the town and was looking into the details.Matt Miller, a U.S. State Department spokesman, called the strike “a horrifying incident with a horrifying result” and said the Biden administration had contacted the Israeli government to ask what happened.Israeli forces renewed their offensive in northern Gaza this month, saying they were trying to stem a regrouping of Hamas, the militant group that attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, sparking the war in Gaza.The strike comes days after another Israeli attack on a residential block in Beit Lahia that left dozens of people killed or wounded, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense. The Israeli military confirmed the strike on Sunday, saying that the air force had “conducted a precise strike” targeting Hamas fighters.An overnight Israeli airstrike hit another residential building in the town on Oct. 20, killing dozens of people, Palestinian officials and emergency workers said.Roughly 400,000 people remain in northern Gaza, according to the United Nations, and many have been trapped in their ruined neighborhoods.
