Bring in pharmacare now, health experts ask federal leaders
15 August 2019 - Signatories include professors of medicine, pharmacy, nursing, economics, political science and law.
More than 1,200 Canadian health care and public policy experts have signed an open letter to all federal party leaders calling on each of them to commit to implementing a national pharmacare system in Canada.
They say comprehensive public medication programs have improved access and reduced costs everywhere they've been implemented and want to keep national pharmacare in Canada from becoming a partisan issue.
