9 in 10 Canadians want national pharmacare: Heart & Stroke poll
24 September 2019 - Canadians overwhelmingly support a national pharmacare program, according to a new poll commissioned by Heart & Stroke and the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions.
Almost nine in 10 Canadians agree that Canada should have a national pharmacare program that would provide equal access to prescription medicines for everyone, according to the poll.
“I think it just makes sense to Canadians,” said Manuel Arango, director of policy advocacy and engagement for Heart & Stroke. “I think Canadians, because they love our universal health care system, it can make sense for them that we also have drugs covered under that system.”
