No one should go without the care they need because they don’t have access to a family doctor, and no one should have to give up food or heat to be able to pay for health care, whether it’s insulin, inhalers, or mental health support.
Canada’s health care system is a source of pride, friend – but too many people still slip through the cracks.
No one should go without the care they need because they don’t have access to a family doctor, and no one should have to give up food or heat to be able to pay for health care, whether it’s insulin, inhalers, or mental health support.
That’s why Justin Trudeau announced today that a new Liberal government is going to close gaps in the health care system and make sure people can get the care they need, when they need it most.
That means ensuring that every Canadian can easily find a family doctor or primary care team, and setting clear national standards for mental health services so Canadians can quickly get the support they need. We'll also continue to make home care and palliative care more available to those who need it.
It also means making sure that everyone can afford the medications they need – including by implementing Universal Pharmacare, so that all Canadians have the drug coverage they need at an affordable price.
To do this, we will start with a down payment of $6 billion over the next four years to support a stronger Medicare system, and public health care.
Conservatives across Canada are focused on going backward with cuts to services that Canadians rely on. Liberals are focused on moving forward with our positive plan to invest in Canadians – and that includes investing in better health care.
But here’s the thing, friend – We need your support today, ahead of our crucial end-of-Q3 deadline, to make it all possible. Election Day is now just 4 weeks away, and every day counts as we work to build successful campaigns across Canada.
Chip in now to support the 2019 Re-election Fund and help Justin Trudeau and the Liberal team earn another mandate in this important election.
