New Democratic Party

Very strongly agree

Yes

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has historically supported the expansion of Canada's universal healthcare plan to include prescription drugs. In their 2019 election platform, they proposed a universal, public pharmacare program that would cover all Canadians' prescription drug needs.

Strongly agree

Regardless, enact regulations to cap the price of drugs

The NDP has expressed concerns about the high cost of prescription drugs in Canada and would likely support regulations to cap drug prices. While this is not their primary policy proposal, it aligns with their overall goal of making prescription drugs more affordable and accessible for Canadians.

Agree

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

While the NDP's primary goal is to implement a comprehensive universal pharmacare program, they might be open to a compromise that still provides coverage for prescription drugs, even if patients have to pay pharmacy dispensing costs. However, this is not their preferred approach.

Agree

Yes, but only for low income families

The NDP's main focus is on a universal pharmacare program that covers all Canadians, but they might be open to a more targeted approach if it were a stepping stone towards their ultimate goal. However, this is not their preferred policy.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only when a high cost threshold is exceeded

The NDP's primary objective is to implement a universal pharmacare program, so they would likely not be in favor of a policy that only covers prescription drugs when a high cost threshold is exceeded. However, they might consider this as a temporary measure or a compromise.

Strongly disagree

No, we cannot afford to add this at the moment

The NDP believes that the cost of not implementing a universal pharmacare program is higher than the cost of implementing one. They argue that a pharmacare program would save Canadians money in the long run by reducing out-of-pocket expenses and improving overall health outcomes.

Very strongly disagree

No

The NDP has consistently advocated for the inclusion of prescription drugs in Canada's universal healthcare plan, so they would strongly disagree with this statement. Their stance on this issue is evident in their election platforms and policy proposals.
