NDP table legislation to create universal pharmacare program

The party, which has been promising to table this legislation for some time, says its proposal is based on the principles of the Canada Health Act.The bill doesn't specify a particular arrangement for funding provincial and territorial governments that would have to administer the drug plan, but instead would give the federal government authority to negotiate with them.

It does lay out conditions the provinces and territories would have to meet to receive funding, including making drug coverage widely accessible. The Liberal government also promised a pharmacare plan in the last election, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau included the initiative in Health Minister Patty Hajdu's mandate letter in December.

Singh has criticized the Liberals for dragging their feet on pharmacare and encouraged them to sign on to his bill to make it happen by 2022.

Soon our pay cheques will be deposited directly into a government account and we will be given vouchers for equal and same of everything in very small quantities. The only exception will the government bureaucrats who will get a significantly larger portion of everything.

Allow us to get our resources out of the ground to pay for it then let's discuss...

No!

We’ve got way bigger problems right now then pharmacare !

Maybe start with properly funding our current healthcare system before you take on another program. As with regular healthcare the costs associated with pharmacare will be downloaded to the provinces.

Great

It will go absolutely no where, too expensive. No one takes the weakened NDP seriously, except for the diehard toadies.

Was this the deal theJagmeetSingh made for selling out Canadians and protecting Trudeau ?

How 'managed alcohol programs' are helping treat alcoholism with moderationCanada has become a world leader in a novel method of treating people with alcoholism and other countries are taking note. Keep in mind alcoholism is different from drugs. Drugs alter your mind chemically and must be flushed entirely from the system through a withdrawal process imho. Keeping drunks 'wet' is as stupid as keeping drug addicts 'stoned' by providing all the stuff to keep them that way until they OD. We revive them so they can go right back at it. Enabling on a grand scale.
