Economy 52,861 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 https://www.google.ca/amp/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4086229 Canadas Largest Province will now cover Prescription medications for those under 25. The coverage will take effect in January 1st 2018 and the coverage will be there regardless of insurance coverage... The Province estimates it will only cost $470 Million since young people use less prescription meds than older ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean under normal circumstances its a nice service to have and $470M isnt like a tone of money but... Ontario has long struggled with finances. [/b]Not long ago we had bigger deficits than the Federal Government[/b] We finally managed to balance the budget for this year. We should be focusing on getting our debt down and finances under control not start adding programs when we just balanced the budget If we do increase spending then it should be on investments like infrastructure, education and innivation programs to help economy Im not hard-core conservative. I think a few basic services from Government are beneficial. I dont think we should be like cutting everything. But now is not the time for Ontario to baloon spending again. We need to get finances in order cuz if another crisis comes we will have little fiscal room to deal with it and we cant rely on the Federal Government to fix all pir problems This is just 1 of many new programs. Healthcare is getting a $7 Billion boost this year from the Province alone plus whatever Justin Trudeau adds from the Federal Level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
