OTTAWA – The NDP and Liberal Parties, ahead of a March 1st deadline to table legislation, have reached a deal to phase in the first piece of a national pharmacare program.
Canadian Press reports final details are still to be worked out over the weekend, but that the deal includes “full coverage for contraceptives in line with what B-C covers, all insulin for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and additional diabetes drugs.”
The deal is being touted as a critical part of a supply-and-confidence pact between the governing Liberals and the NDP.
