The passing of the federal Pharmacare Act was a significant milestone in the realization of a truly universal, public health care system.
The governments of Manitoba, British Columbia, PEI and Yukon have already signed bilateral agreements that will see contraception and diabetes supplies covered for their residents.
Today in Ontario, too many patients are rationing medication or forgoing treatment altogether because they cannot afford the cost of their prescriptions. 1 in 5 Canadians are going without coverage for medication costs, and Ontario has one of the highest drug deductibles.
In the face of economic uncertainty, we can ensure workers, families – and all Ontarians – are not stuck paying out-of-pocket for their essential diabetes and contraceptive medications. People are counting on us.
