What to know about Canada’s new Pharmacare bill

The Decibel

About this episode

The Liberal-NDP supply-and-confidence deal has passed another test. The two parties managed to table a pharmacare bill before the March 1 deadline. But the compromise legislation is a limited program, supplying universal, single-payer coverage to only two classes of drugs.

Marieke Walsh, the Globe’s Senior Political Reporter, explains how the program will work and how much it will cost.
