1. Expand the Canada Health Act.
● Expand the single-payer Medicare model to include Pharmacare for everyone.
● Create a bulk drug purchasing agency and reduce drug patent protection periods.
● Expand the single-payer Medicare model to include long-term care and enhanced mental health services.
● Expand the single-payer Medicare model to include free basic dental care for all Canadians.
2. Restore the Canada Health Accord.
● Increase health transfers by basing them on demographics and real health care needs in each province, replacing the current formula based on GDP growth introduced by the Harper government and retained by the Liberals.
● Negotiate the Canada Health Accord to prioritize mental health and rehabilitation services, access to safe abortion services and access to gender-affirming health services such as hormones, blockers, and surgery.
● Reduce wait times, which are a foundational issue of accessibility in the health care system, particularly in the case of primary care. Support family doctors and interprofessional teams to reduce wait times and enhance the accessibility of the care they provide to communities across Canada.
