Canadian Doctors for Medicare is proud to advocate for universal public pharmacare, which the evidence has shown to be the most efficient and equitable means of ensuring that patients and families can access the medications they need. We are proud to stand with the majority who recognize that the time has come for fair and affordable drug coverage for all people in Canada.
On February 29th, the Minister of Health introduced Bill C-64, An Act Respecting Pharmacare, and announced their plan to work with provinces and territories to offer coverage for diabetes medications and contraceptives. While this is a significant advancement, it's crucial that we maintain momentum toward a real, comprehensive, single-payer Pharmacare program. At CDM, we're determined to keep fighting until every Canadian can access vital medications, regardless of income or job status.
