‘Fill-the-gaps’ programs can’t replace Liberal promise of pharmacare, advocates say
The move came after numerous delays and several court challenges from the pharmaceutical industry — including a constitutional challenge in Quebec that struck down two of Ottawa’s proposed changes. Ottawa did not appeal that decision.Batt says the “watered-down” drug price regulations that followed show the influence big pharma and their lobbying agencies can have on government policy, and she worries that pharmacare could similarly get caught in these crosshairs.
The pandemic and ensuing economic downturn in Canada have only made the issue of drug coverage more pronounced, with millions who have lost jobs now also without private drug insurance, she noted. “They’re trying to straddle a divide and they’re being pulled more and more over to what the industry wants,” Batt said.
