Did you know that if you don’t have private health insurance, you likely have to pay for life-saving drugs out of your own pocket? Did you know that Canada’s healthcare ranks second last out of 10 countries? Without pharmacare, Canada’s “healthcare” system is NOT universal.
In part 2 of our healthcare series, Doret Cheng, a practicing pharmacist and university lecturer on global health, explains why healthcare equality is NOT equity, and how we can afford a national pharmacare program.
As a bonus, I ask Doret her thoughts on how a COVID vaccine should be equitably distributed.

In this episode

  • [00:04:04] When equality is not equity: patient discharge stories
  • [00:13:34] Canada’s healthcare is second worst out of OECD countries
  • [00:16:38] The case for national pharmacare: we actually SAVE money
  • [00:21:08] The government’s plan for national pharmacare – there is one?!
  • [00:27:00] COVID vaccine – who gets it first?
  • [00:31:50] Doret’s lessons learned – listening to patients results in better health outcomes
