Okay.
We're hearing wildly different figures. Some groups say that national pharmacare will cost Canada $6 billion a year, as your report says. Others say that going to a national pharmacare system will save us billions of dollars a year. I'll tell you that the latter is contained in peer-reviewed research. In fact, Dr. Steve Morgan's article entitled “Estimated Cost of Universal Public Coverage of Prescription Drugs in Canada” was just named the Canadian Institutes for Health Research's article of the year last week, and that was following a lengthy adjudication process by health policy researchers, professionals, and policy-makers.
I'm just wondering if we should discount that and instead place more emphasis on your report, which was not peer reviewed. Help me out. Where are the credible numbers?
