The National Pharmacare Committee of Experts’ report on how to chart a path towards a national universal pharmacare program in Canada was released today. Over the last year, CFNU President Linda Silas has been a member of this committee tasked with recommending options for how to operate and finance a national universal single-payer pharmacare program in Canada.
“I am very proud of the eight recommendations the committee has outlined. A national pharmacare program is long overdue, but I know this federal budget may not be the one that funds it. That doesn’t mean the fight for this lifesaving legislation is over. Together, we can chart a path forward that ensures everyone has equal access to the prescription medication they need,” Silas said.
