Tell Your Premier: Support Universal Pharmacare
All signs point to the federal government supporting universal pharmacare. Other parties like the NDP and Greens have also indicated their support for universal pharmacare. With a minority government, winning universal pharmacare is a real possibility.
This could be a make or break moment for universal pharmacare in Canada.
Sign the petition and tell your Premier to support universal pharmacare.
Canada is the only country in the world that has a universal healthcare system that doesn’t cover prescription medication. Meanwhile, 1 in 4 Canadian households is unable to afford their medications. [1] In 2018, nearly a million Canadians took on debt to pay for their prescriptions. [2]
Since healthcare is a provincial responsibility, organized opposition to pharmacare by Premiers can act as a serious obstacle.
The health and wellbeing of Canadians should not be a partisan issue. Join our campaign and call on your provincial government to commit to universal pharmacare.
