Recent advocacy efforts
CNA has a longstanding history of advocating for a national pharmacare program. In advance of the 2019 federal election, CNA launched an election platform that included a recommendation to all political parties to commit to adopting and implementing a universal, single-payer pharmacare program that is sustainable and evidence-based. CNA recommends a comprehensive, universal, public system offering affordable medication coverage that ensures access based on need, not the ability to pay.
