📢 UPDATES ON PHARMACARE 📋 A new deal has been reached, planning to cover birth control and diabetes medications in the program. Justin J. Bates, ICD.D CEO of the Ontario Pharmacists Association, agrees that access to medication poses a challenge. "No Canadian is left behind" is our goal, ensuring welcome news as we address the gaps. 💉 Justin J. Bates, ICD.D, ICD.D, believes the framework falls short in addressing medication accessibility and affordability. ❗ Shifting coverage from private to public plans won't solve but increase expenditures to roughly 1 billion CAD. 💰 Targeting the uninsured would be more cost-effective and impactful, Justin suggests. We can achieve universal access without a single-payer system; our mixed model (Private and Public) is already operational. 🏥 Implementation of the framework in Ontario and convincing other provinces to sign on is expected to take several years. #Pharmacare #Healthcarepolicy #access #reimbursement

Cash Based Direct Healthcare>> There is no reason general care should be propping up the broken insurance complex. Many providers I speak to say it's in the name of patient care, not wanting to turn anyone away. -Cost rising double inflation across the industry is not patient care. -Increase Admin work put on providers leading to less patient care is not patient care. -Endless Middlemen not working along side but vertically integrated into these Oligarch payers not only increase costs for practices but patients as well, is not patient care.
