Regardless, enact regulations to cap the price of drugs

The Bloc Québécois would likely support regulations to cap the price of drugs, as this aligns with their goal of making medications more accessible and affordable for Canadians. While this may not be their primary focus, it could be seen as a complementary measure to a universal pharmacare program.

Agree

Yes, cover the overall prescription costs but have the patient pay the pharmacy dispensing costs

While the Bloc Québécois has advocated for a universal pharmacare program, they may be open to a compromise that covers overall prescription costs but requires patients to pay pharmacy dispensing costs. This approach could help address budgetary concerns while still expanding access to medications.

Agree

Yes, but only for low income families

The Bloc Québécois has called for a universal pharmacare program, which would cover all Canadians, not just low-income families. However, they may see this option as a step in the right direction and be somewhat agreeable to it as an interim solution.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only when a high cost threshold is exceeded

The Bloc Québécois's preference is for a universal pharmacare program, but they may be open to considering other options that expand access to prescription drugs. Covering costs only when a high threshold is exceeded may not be their ideal solution, but they could see it as better than no coverage at all.

Strongly disagree

No, we cannot afford to add this at the moment

The Bloc Québécois has been pushing for the inclusion of prescription drugs in the universal healthcare plan, so they would likely disagree with the notion that it cannot be afforded at the moment. However, they may be open to discussing budgetary concerns and finding solutions to make it financially feasible.
