Abstract

→ Read the full report The combined effect of rising healthcare costs and severe budget constraints limits the resources that can be allocated to the healthcare system. Governments are therefore faced with difficult trade-offs when it comes to allocating public funds both within the healthcare system and between different government functions such as education, pensions or income support. In a CIRANO study (Jacques and Chassé, 2025), the authors show that Quebecers are generally very unsatisfied with the healthcare system, and that there is a strong consensus in public opinion in favour of more spending on healthcare. However, this desire doesn't necessarily translate into a willingness to pay higher taxes to support new spending. → Lire le rapport complet L’effet combiné de l’augmentation des coûts des soins de santé et des contraintes budgétaires importantes limite les ressources qu’il est possible d’allouer au système de santé. Les gouvernements font donc face à des arbitrages difficiles lorsqu’il s’agit de répartir des fonds publics tant à l’intérieur du système de santé qu’entre différentes fonctions de l’État comme l’éducation, les retraites ou le soutien au revenu. Dans une étude CIRANO (Jacques et Chassé, 2025), les auteurs montrent que les Québécoises et Québécois se disent généralement très insatisfaits du système de santé et qu’il existe un fort consensus dans l’opinion publique en faveur de plus de dépenses en santé. Toutefois, ce souhait ne se traduit pas nécessairement par une volonté de payer davantage d’impôts pour soutenir de nouvelles dépenses.
