With the fund raising that has been going on for years for cancer, one would think the Pharmas are bringing in more than enough. That's downside of capitalism.

Canadian patients deserve fair prices for important medicines. It is time for Canada to have a National Pharmacare program NOW!

Personne autre n’aurait à vivre ce que j’ai vécu aux mains de la RAMQ pour l’obtention d’un médicament qui m’a sauvé la vie et m’a finalement débarrassé de la LMC.

We should have a monopsony for our medication at the very least with a national pharmacare program to give Canadians the best care possible. Rather than the hybrid lower quality healthcare but very lucrative to a small group system we have now.

As a patient on an expensive live saving drug, I am well aware of the challenges far too many Canadians face and the inequity by province. We need a comprehensive national plan that benefits Canadians first.

If your "patient" group accepts industry funding, you do NOT represent patients

Much needed drugs should be accessible to all Canadians. I've experienced a province where I had to pay for my life saving/maintaining medication and one where it is fully covered. Guess where I decided to stay?!
