Canada’s parliament has passed a bill that that will cover the full cost of contraception and diabetes drugs for Canadians.
The Liberal government said it is the initial phase of a plan that would expand to become a publicly funded national pharmacare programme.
But two provinces - Alberta and Quebec - have indicated they may opt-out of the programme, accusing Ottawa of interfering in provincial matters.
Opposition Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, whose party is ahead in national polls by a wide margin, does not support the legislation.
Canada currently has a shortage of physicians and other healthcare workers, and 6 million Canadians don’t have a family Dr (source).
But you want all those people - even ones living in remote regions with zero access to physicians-- to be forced to toe the line you’ve drawn in the sand?
I imagine you support the Conservatives as well.
