The Conservatives have a 16-point lead. Three-quarters of the country think it’s time for a change. But Justin Trudeau is vowing to fight Pierre Poilievre in the next election.

    If we get pharmacare for all, how does that interact with most people having some kind of private drug coverage? Could it cover the remaining differential (insurance covers 70% or whatever)? And just eliminate the tax deduction?

    Its gonna be the only way to get drug costs down I would conjeccture 🤔

    Edit: any insurance bros wanna help me out here and chime in

      I don’t have any inside details of the legislation being put together. Hopefully it will eliminate dependence on drug insurance for most people with common drug needs and reduce it for specialized ones.

        Its honestly just embarassing, since we already half/ass already do it anyway with OntarioWorks/ODSP, just finish the job and presumably unlock the full range of cost-volume savings or whatever its called. Whole/ass!
