John,
I can’t believe I finally get to type out these words: Pharmacare has just passed through the House of Commons!
New Democrats have been fighting to get a universal, single-payer pharmacare plan for Canadians for decades – and for decades, Liberals and Conservatives have been fighting to protect the interests of Big Pharma.
But today, despite pushback from the establishment parties and the powerful Big Pharma lobby that controls them, my team of 24 MPs got it done. And we couldn’t have done it without your unwavering support. Thank you, John.
Now, millions of Canadians are a step closer to having access to free diabetes medications and devices and free contraception, saving them thousands of dollars per year – and saving our healthcare system money, too.
John, with this historic legislation passing through Parliament, we're closer than ever before to a Canada that leaves no one behind. No Canadian should have to pay out of pocket for the medication they need to live a healthy life. And soon, because of your support, they won’t have to.
This is my promise to you, and to all Canadians: now that we’ve secured this lifesaving program together, I promise you I will fight like hell to protect it from the Conservatives who want to tear it down.
John, thank you for helping to get pharmacare to the finish line.
Now, we keep fighting.
