Does this Bill include the coverage of drugs?
I've learned that the Canadian health care system doesn't cover drugs. Provided this Bill gets passed, would drugs be covered? That's an extremely important part of our health care.

1. First, there isn't any bill. There are supposed to be 5 separate bills coming from
3 House Committees and 2 from the Senate. All but the one from the Senate Finance Committee have been drafted. How drugs are handled will be by the individual policies offered by each provider.

2. Does either undrafted Bill have the potential to NOT cover drugs?
If so, how could that benefit those of us who currently have drugs covered with our current coverage?

3. Then keep what you have. P.S. If something's undrafted, it doesn't exist.
