GLOBAL NEWS REGINA: New Poll Shows Canadians Keen for Health Reform

October 25, 2022

SecondStreet.org joined Global News Regina to discuss 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.
