Yes but also certain vitamin and mineral supplements which actually solve issues. The pharmaceutical industry is CORRUPT. Natural health solutions are too expensive, while people are getting damaging prescription drugs for free.
No, get private health care coverage, if you want. No coverage, no treatment unless charity of some sort voluntarily steps in. Private coverage options should become competitive but will also underwrite each applicant and possibly deny coverage in some circumstances. In that case, a public form may be needed but paid for by the insured.
@9GHTBSS6mos6MO
Yes but No, people could also be drug addicts so I still think you should pay for your medication however if you are not eligible to afford it then it should be covered.
@9G97MP96mos6MO
Ensure that patients will not become addicted, and also ensure that doctors or pharmacists are 100% certain that they are trying to help and not just make money.
@8VV2P573yrs3Y
Yes, but only for those who cannot afford it
@8VKFPCT3yrs3Y
Depends on what they are used to treat.
@8VK2MRY3yrs3Y
Low income does not mean sitting on welfare
@8VJKMNM3yrs3Y
Continue the current practice of affordable drug prices with private coverage available
@8VJGW543yrs3Y
Yes, but only for certain medications such as life saving, essential meds, etc
@8VGS3K43yrs3Y
Only for medicine required for life affecting reasons such as heart disease, diabetes, after organ transplants etc.
@8VF2K763yrs3Y
No, but Canada's universal healthcare plan should extend to include all natural therapy's and treatments including holistic treatments and healthy diet subsidy prevention.
Yes. Provided that the patient is still in need of the prescription, and not abusing the medication.
@8VBTBZ53yrs3Y
Yes for low income people and those who have recurring expensive medication that they need (antidepressants etc)
Yes if the drugs are used daily for life ex: Diabetics
@8V87CD43yrs3Y
Yes and use the budget's good proportion on preventing, educate people out of stressing, unhealthy life habits and mentality!
@8V7X4N73yrs3Y
Enact regulations to cap drug prices. Provide partial coverage for most drugs and full coverage for drugs necessary for an individuals survival.
@8V7V3MX3yrs3Y
Yes but only if not covered by a plan
Yes, but only for medications used when the disease is not preventable
@8V7LPJX3yrs3Y
Test for all Canadians. If it is not affordable for 1 person then a subsidy based on their situation works. No Canadian left behind. 80% discount with coverage and equal considerations for all in between
@8V7GS8B3yrs3Y
Cover a percentage proportionally based on income.
@8V7CBJQNew Democratic3yrs3Y
yes, and cap the cost of drugs.
@8V793YP3yrs3Y
Yes and no. There should only be subscribed to people who need it and not to people that abuse it
@8V77VQP3yrs3Y
only if its a life saving medication
@8V6RYXG3yrs3Y
Yes for life saving drugs. Ex. Viagra is not a life saving drug.
@8V6RLGM3yrs3Y
yes, and put a price cap. the patient must also go through a physical and mental health test
@Canadian13yrs3Y
Insulin for diabetics and epipens, pacemakers etc. Absolutely necessary life saving ongoing medications should be covered. All other one time use prescriptions should not be. Seniors should be covered also.
@8V276PB3yrs3Y
No, it will only encourage doctors to continue over prescribing drugs and the conflict of interest of pharmaceutical companies advertising to doctors.
Yes, but cap the price to reduce the overcharging
@8TY6SYK3yrs3Y
Yes but only if it's not covered by private insurance.
@8TY2F6H3yrs3Y
The government should cover the cost of drugs that are lifesaving. For example insulin for a diabetic, or epipens for those with life threatening allergies. All other drugs should be according to health insurance and or seniors discounts costs.
@8TXVXML3yrs3Y
No, Should not be a federal matter.
@8TWKYN53yrs3Y
Yes, for low income and high threshold.
@8TWHVDZ3yrs3Y
Yes, for low income families and when high cost threshold is exceded
@8TV636B3yrs3Y
Yes, otherwise stop calling it a universal healthcare plan.
@8TQFKJ53yrs3Y
Yes, but not for high income inidivduald and families, also enact regulations capping the price of drugs.
@8TN77R4Conservative3yrs3Y
Some family’s might need it and other people may be Adictid
@8TN4GLW3yrs3Y
No, and fully privatize the entire healthcare system
@8TMQW463yrs3Y
Yes, but no psychotropics.
@8TLP8KX3yrs3Y
Lower income people should be covered for prescription drugs but not everybody.
Yes, cover the overall prescription costs for low income families, but have the patient pay the pharmacy dispensing costs
@8TK6YNB3yrs3Y
Yes, also have significantly more monitoring for abuse and addiction
@8THJ2J23yrs3Y
Somewhat, there should be a cap and after that amount, the government covers the rest.
@8T99ZQLConservative3yrs3Y
No, this will only cause prescription prices to increase, if the prices are capped it will lead to shortages and producers will have no incentive to increase supply.
@8T94R3L3yrs3Y
No, and get rid of public healthcare
@8T352BHConservative3yrs3Y
No it should be under provincial control
@8ST6S8R3yrs3Y
No. Money, support, education, and communication should go towards Canadians taking better care of their health and not being prescribed long-term drug use by their doctors.
@8RXLK453yrs3Y
Yes, when it is a mandatory prescription
Have work provided drug plans or have employers pay into a plan so everyone can have generic drugs. But not all drugs, have a certain list. Some of these specialized crazy 500$ A pill ones, no
@shaelynj3yrs3Y
yes but we should also cap the prices of the drugs
