    I though pharmacare was one of those things that paid for itself with the single point of negotiation and reduced need for emergency care? I don’t really remember the numbers…

      Well, emergency care is also a provincial responsibility, and a single point of negotiation is moot from a federal budget perspective if the alternative is to pay nothing and let people fend for themselves. To society I’m sure it’s the better, cheaper option, though.
