The way taxes are allocated is the problem. I like a federal system for health care but we need to account for federal taxes in a way that lets the tax payers see the way our dollars are spent. I have many ideas re this topic and too much for this site. 7 years ago from a New Democratic in Oliver

Regardless, healthcare should not be privatized. 7 years ago from a Liberal in Chilliwack

Both. Federal funding to help defray provincial costs and control. 7 years ago from a New Democratic in Trenton

No, it should be both and more. Federally funded and organized, provincially and locally delivered. 7 years ago from a New Democratic in Toronto

Both should have a part in helping keep it free and effective, waiting times are getting to be a bit much and patient care seems to have gone downhill. 7 years ago from a New Democratic in Madoc

It MUST be a partnership between federal and provincial (and municipal) governments. Health of citizens should be priority to all elected officials and every level of government has a role to play. 7 years ago from a New Democratic in Dartmouth

Constitutionally healthcare is provincial. The federal government should partner and assist with money. 7 years ago from a New Democratic in Halifax

Both, while it should be customized for each region due to difference in issues, there needs to be some commonality that the federal level can assist with which would reduce costs. 7 years ago from a New Democratic in Dartmouth
