ROB BREAKENRIDGE: New Poll Shows Canadians Keen for Health Reform

SecondStreet.org spoke with Rob Breakenridge about our new poll on health care reform.

We hired Leger to ask Canadians about four different options for reform: allowing people to pay for care at private clinics, having the government hire private clinics to reduce the surgical backlog, copying an EU policy to reduce waitlists, and making health ministers report how many people died due to long waitlists.

In each case, the majority of respondents were in favour of reform.

New Poll: Canadians Keen for Health Reform

A new poll commissioned by think tank SecondStreet.org shows that Canadians continue to
show overwhelming support for health reform, including governments hiring private clinics to
reduce surgical backlogs, allowing more choices for patients, copying an EU policy and
increased accountability when it comes to patient deaths due to long waiting lists.
