Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Prime Minister said that Canadians were to blame for the increasing debt loads.
However, it is not their fault that prescription drug prices are skyrocketing. They are not to blame for the high cost of long-term care or home care. Lower health outcomes and higher health costs related to poverty are not their fault.
The solution to rising health care costs must involve federal leadership that goes beyond health care transfers but where is the minister?
When will the government finally start a national conversation about health care, including making prescription drugs more affordable?
