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.
I sure hope you have a pristine lifestyle without any vice that could cause any type of chronic injury or illness, because boy would that be ironic.
Crazy idea: how about we cover both the meds and the education of the population on the matter. I know, a bit too crazy, but might be worth a shot.
