I think most voters welcome the moves but its like taking the bribe payment and not doing what you been bribed for (support the liberals)
Personally I like the idea of reducing drug costs but the liberals free drugs to anyone under 25:
- regardless if they are working full time with benefits
- regardless how much they make
- regardless if they live with parents who are wealthy
- regardless that most young people hardly buy any drugs apart from basic ones at all
Pretty much shows the stupidity of this government and thinks any money should be spent without much thought.
They could have easily provided greater benefits to those who needed it instead of giving rich kids free allergy medicines
Idiots
This x 1 million.
What tears me about this "pharmacare" is how useless it is. Most 24 year olds to say nothing of most children are not on any medications. Those that are have coverage from their parents if available. If their parents don't have benefits, then they would benefit from this. But they shouldn't. So not only is this policy smoke and mirrors - it is far less significant than it appears - it also manages to be supremely wasteful.
None of this helps with issues around prices or bulk purchasing. I disagree that this portends any notion of universal pharmacare.
If they wanted to make a big difference, they would move to proper universal pharmacare - possibly for income-adjusted copays. A similar approach for basic dental care is crucial as well. It is nothing more than an artifact of history that it is excluded from medicare.
