Glad to see the Liberals are at least speaking of taking action on pharmacare. And glad to see that the NDP have been pushing them to do so.

I am so happy that the NDP is using its power in the minority government to push the Liberal government to do things that actually HELP Canadians! Fingers Crossed that this gets passed before December!
"It is crucial that the legislation be clear that the system is universal, comprehensive and entirely public, so no one will have to pay out of pocket for their medication," Davies said in a media statement.

"Only a single-payer pharmacare system will achieve the savings, efficiencies and fairness that is the hallmark of Canadian medicare. Anything less will be unacceptable to Canadians and the NDP."

There needs to be a unified federal healthcare regime in for people who are entitled to federal health care. This way, new programs such as federal 👓, 🦷, and 💊 care can be implemented without provincial buy in. 🇨🇦

Delay, dilution & capitulation? Whats going on with drug prices in Canada?

Ahead of today's federal budget, I spoke to the unfolding scandal at the Patented Medicine Price Review Board, the quasi-judicial federal agency that regulates how much drugs cost in Canada.

Today, the next chapter in our Prime Minister’s full capitulation to Big Pharmaprice gouging just dropped.

Time for the NDP to pull the plug on their confidence & supply agreement.

I do not like to post twitter content here, but this should be a huge scandal for the feds. Not good. Matthew Herder posted this 1 hour ago.

The cat-and-mouse game the Trudeau gov't is playing with should be cause for concern.

Yes, would be beneficial for Canadians. But I din't believe that any Liberal, Conservative, or New Democrat federal party will ever make that happen. How long have we been promised ? These are just empty promises to string us along so those parties can win another false majority government.
