No, I disagree. I think a system could be set up in which the medications that Canadians need most would be accessible through that system. If there were to be exceptions, a process could be put in place for that. The argument that having more access to more medications is better for people's health is not the right way to look at it.
One of the key parts of a pharmacare program would be the evidence-based aspect of it, including the evaluation of a medication's effectiveness and cost and what should be on the formulary, along with options for accessing some of the innovative medications. More medications and faster inclusion in a plan doesn't necessarily mean better health outcomes for people.
