interesting topic for me personally, as i work with this sort of stuff.

the drug pricing scheme in canada is goofy to say th elast. drugs that cost a lot here, are very cheap in india - i amn not really sure why

secondly, this would be a massive expense for the taxpayers and has a potential to be a massive boondoggle - easy to see the implementation and delivery of this plan going sideways. from what i have seen, nobody has really contemplated how to finance this (if only we had some natural resource available to sell on the world marketplace). Also would be interesting how the feds may deliver a drug plan and province deliver the other parts of health care.

if some national plan for everyone was created, presumably your health coverage costs thru your employer or personal plan would drop - but i would ahve to think the savings would be offset with some type of tax.

Personally, i don't have much faith in the government to deliver something of this magnitude.

as mentioned in some of the articles, it would seem the first step to to try and fill in the gaps of those who currently do not have coverage.
