Most Canadians say they want plans attached to health funding as PM, premiers meet
The Ipsos survey conducted exclusively for Global News found 86 per cent of those interviewed believe the health-care system needs more money from Ottawa, an opinion held by even more people over the age of 55 .
But 59 per cent of respondents said they want provinces to also show the federal government a plan on how they will deliver better care with more cash from Ottawa.Only 41 per cent said the provinces should decide how to spend new health funding with no conditions attached.Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs, says health-care access is currently among the top concerns for Canadians, challenged only by worries about increased costs of living.
But while health care has always been a key issue for Canadians, Bricker says public attitudes have shifted from concern about future deterioration of access to health services for families and individuals to more pressing worries about significant gaps that exist today.“I think we’ve seen a significant shift through the course of the pandemic, where people are now worried about whether or not if they go to the hospital, they’ll be seen in a timely period of time.
“I’m looking forward to sitting down with the premiers tomorrow to discuss the future of health care in this country – the future of public health care,” Trudeau said during question period in Parliament Monday. “We will ensure we are standing up for the Canada Health Act, ensuring that all Canadians can have access to timely, necessary procedures, we know that’s what Canadians expect — whether it’s more family doctors, whether it’s ending the backlogs in mental health services, whether it’s stopping the overwhelming of our ER — we will be there to invest with the provinces and ensure results for Canadians.
