Why did pharmacare stop being a core Liberal promise?

that, “If we had, today, good policy and good relations with the federal government, and a stimulating strategy, we would use whatever tools necessary to convince businesses like Merck to invest in Canada.” Pamela Fralick, the head of Innovative Medicines Canada, an industry group for a network of pharmaceutical companies, told thethat, should the measures go ahead, “innovative new medicines will not launch in Canada, depriving patients of potentially life-changing new treatments.

And yet, Canada has long paid significantly more than other countries for drugs. Per the board’s 2019 annual report , Canada pays more, as a percentage of its GDP, for pharmaceutical drugs than all but one of those comparator countries. When it comes to the actual price differential for common drugs, Canada is only a shade cheaper than Germany and Switzerland.

Innovative Medicines Canada penned a 30-page rebuttal, insisting that the changes could “result in negative consequences for Canadian patients, the health-care system, and the economy.”Here’s a plain reality: Canada’s domestic pharmaceutical industry has been hollowing out for years. “The opposite happened, right?” they added, pointing out the R&D has dropped by half. “So there’s never been any support for the fact that we have to charge more so that we can develop more.”

NP View: Justin Trudeau Liberals pose a direct threat to free speech in CanadaBuried on page 65 of the Liberal platform is a promise to introduce legislation to “combat serious forms of harmful online content.” It may seem innocuous… That depends on which political spectrum you are on. The liberals say the same thing about the conservatives. 100% correct. THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting this out there! This is the 1 reason I want to see the Liberals go! People don’t see nor appreciate the dangerous polarizing path the Liberals have set for our country. They are pitting Canadians against each other & pushing Cancel Culture.
