As health-care negotiations continue between premiers and the federal government, a new survey suggests Canadians are divided on the prospect of more privatization in the health system.
According to the survey conducted by Angus Reid, 39 per cent of Canadians are "public health purists," which means they'd like little to no private-sector involvement in health care, while 28 per cent say increasing privatization is necessary.
Among NDP voters, 68 per cent were public health purists while 52 per cent of Liberal voters held this position. Conservative voters, on the other hand, were more likely to be pro-private care . Saskatchewan and Quebec were the only two provinces where more people said private care would improve the system. In Saskatchewan, 47 per cent held this view while 34 per cent said it would worsen the system. In Quebec, 40 per cent said private care would be an improvement, while 38 per cent disagreed.
