We're the only developed nation with national healthcare but not pharmacare. All these shitheads trying to explain why it can't work and etc. are expounding nothing but ideology. Significant numbers of older adults especially have to choose between taking their medication as prescribed, and other living expenses. Conservatives yet again advocating for people to literally continue to suffer/die needlessly to ensure the profits keep flowing.

aish is maybe an interesting one because, afaik, it sees universal support across the political spectrum. on the left you're on board with people not dying in the street, and on the right you know that living on aish means every cent you get is going into the local economy. approximately no one supports cutting it, and limiting the application criteria probably has similarly low levels of support (maybe some people buy the disingenuous "someone got an adhd diagnosis and is set for life!!" which describes zero people on aish). even your more heartless conservatives will admit that inability to work shouldn't be a death sentence so idk what kenney's playing at here. I'm not saying aish is some beloved program, most people probably don't know what it is, but nobody wants it cut

so there's a practice that was used when making the cartoon Adventure Time where they tried to push something live that was really hosed up then got told to back off a bit so they could instead push something live that was medium hosed up, which would have itself been rejected had they gone with it first. I think this might be what he's doing, threaten to cut AISH so he can do something else horrible with less pushback because "at least I didn't cut AISH" I am basing this hypothesis on 4 seconds of thought and zero research, there's also a very real chance that he's actually just as dumb as he seems

I was surprised when anyone got mad about MEC being sold, it hasn't been any different than any other outdoorsy store in ages. I miss the days of them making their own quality jackets, I had one that lasted me a good decade+. Now I can't find anything as good anywhere  Anyway I haven't been to an MEC in forever, the stores got all fancy and all the same brands as everywhere else.

Zutaten posted:Just curious, how fired would you get if you slipped him 25 bucks? Probably not a line he wants to cross when it sounds like his entire(?) practise is very low income, vs the pharmacy typically having some markup on drugs, possibly rebates back from their supplier based on volume, and also routinely waiving "trivial" dollar amounts after processing claims through insurance. Trivial is more typically pennies but sometimes a few bucks, 25 is pushing it a bit but hey, 40k. I dunno how mad the insurance company would possibly get in the unlikely case of catching it.

Both welfare and AISH expire when you hit 65, as you're covered by senior's blue cross. But suddenly you have to pay up to $25 per prescription - what if you're on 15 prescriptions? Many of which may be necessary to keep you alive? What if you can't manage your meds well, because you have cognitive issues, and it would be safer to dispense your meds weekly, but that would mean it's $25 per prescription per week instead of per 3 months? I frequently have to balance out patient safety versus patient cost issues when patients are over 65. Fortunately my patient population doesn't trend old... unfortunately it's because the life expectancy in the neighbourhood in which I work is something like 42. Pharmacare is health care, and this is the biggest gap in the Canada Health Act. I would love it if the NDP made national pharmacare the condition of their continued support of the Libs.
