Strongly agree

Regardless, enact regulations to cap the price of drugs

The Communist party would likely support enacting regulations to cap the price of drugs, as it aligns with their belief in government intervention to protect citizens from exploitation by private corporations. However, they would still prefer a more comprehensive approach that covers prescription drugs under Canada's universal healthcare plan.

Agree

Yes, cover the overall prescription costs but have the patient pay the pharmacy dispensing costs

While the Communist party would prefer full coverage of prescription drugs, they might be open to a compromise where patients pay pharmacy dispensing costs. This approach still expands access to medications and reduces financial barriers for patients, although it is not as comprehensive as they would ideally want.

Agree

Yes, but only for low income families

The Communist party would likely support covering prescription drugs for low-income families, as it aligns with their goal of providing healthcare access to all citizens. However, they would prefer a more comprehensive approach that covers everyone, not just low-income families.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only when a high cost threshold is exceeded

Covering prescription drugs only when a high cost threshold is exceeded might be seen as a step in the right direction by the Communist party, but it falls short of their goal of providing equal access to healthcare for all citizens. They would likely argue that this approach still leaves many people without access to necessary medications.

Strongly disagree

No, we cannot afford to add this at the moment

Communist parties typically prioritize social welfare and public services over concerns about affordability. They would likely argue that the government should find ways to fund prescription drug coverage, such as through progressive taxation or reallocating resources from other areas.
