The Hill Times
In her March 17 Hill Times column, Susan Riley captured the moral imperative of a full-scale national universal pharmacare program while raising valid concerns about whether the Liberals will ever take the necessary steps to implement one. This has been promised since the 1940s, so fears the party will maintain its track record are well-founded. But, as she points out, the first phase is in the works—largely due to the persistence of the NDP—giving the glass-half-full crowd reason to hope.
The decision to fund pumps—and for whom—must be based on something more meaningful than the fact that they are the newest thing on the market. One reasonable policy is to restrict funding for insulin pumps to those who can’t achieve appropriate blood sugar control using syringes. Many jurisdictions have adopted this approach, including the United Kingdom, Germany, British Columbia, and Ontario.
