Supporting Universal National Pharmacare

Report: Councillor Amy Lubik, dated December 17, 2019

• Recommendation(s):

  
  WHEREAS the City of Port Moody has recognized and has demonstrated over the past years its commitment to the importance of healthy citizens as the foundation of a healthy, engaged, and economically vibrant community;

  AND WHEREAS the over 3 million Canadians, including many in our local communities, don’t take medicines prescribed by their doctors because they can’t afford them;

  AND WHEREAS Canada is currently the ONLY country with a National Medicare Program that does not have a National Pharmacare Program;

  AND WHEREAS the risk of having no insurance for medicines is high among lower income Canadians which includes the service industry, precarious working, and seasonal workers;

  AND WHEREAS studies show that adding a National Pharmacare Program to our National Health Care System would lower costs to businesses by over $8 billion per year, providing Canadian companies competitive advantages in international trade;

  AND WHEREAS recent research confirms that these gains can be achieved with little or no increase in public investment;

  AND WHEREAS municipal government expenses for employee benefits would be significantly reduced by a National Pharmacare Program;

  AND WHEREAS a national prescription drug formulary would support better quality prescribing, including reducing dangerous and inappropriate prescribing to Canadian seniors;

  AND WHEREAS a National Pharmacare plan is a sound policy, both economically and socially, the City of Port Moody express its support for the creation of a National Pharmacare program as an extension of Canadian Medicare, since health and economic studies now show that such as policy would improve health in municipalities, give local businesses a competitive advantage in the global marketplace, and lower costs for municipal government on taxpayers; 

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Port Moody call on the Federal Government to work with the provinces and territories to develop and implement a Universal Public National Pharmacare program as one of the first orders of business after the 2019 election;
