Access to Pharmacare is finally in reach.

The federal government has passed the Pharmacare Act, moving us closer to universal access to birth control and diabetes treatments for all Canadians. But to make coverage for all a reality, each province needs to reach an agreement with the federal government. Tell your premier and provincial health minister to act now — demand Pharmacare in your province.

What will Pharmacare cover?

Birth Control

All Canadians of reproductive age — about nine million people — will have access to a comprehensive range of contraceptives, alleviating the financial burden disproportionately borne by women and gender-diverse Canadians.

Diabetes Medications and Equipment

Millions of Canadians who live with diabetes will have access to essential medicines, supplies and equipment needed to manage the condition, avoiding severe complications like blindness and amputations, often linked to inadequate treatment due to cost.

Has your province made a deal?

The passing of the Pharmacare Act is a critical first step towards ensuring all Canadians have access to essential medications, starting with diabetes treatments and birth control. However, universal access to these medications hinges on negotiations with the provinces, who need to sign agreements with the federal government to bring Pharmacare to their province. The sooner our federal and provincial leaders can finalize these agreements, the sooner universal access to diabetes and birth control can become a reality. See below which provinces have signed an agreement and send a letter to your elected representatives, asking them to get a deal done.
