Diabetes Canada calls for federal government to reset pharmacare program
CANADA, JUL 30 – Diabetes Canada calls for expanded pharmacare coverage to include more diabetes medications and updated treatments as current plans cover only limited drugs, impacting patient care.
- Diabetes Canada called on July 30, 2025, for the federal government in Ottawa to restructure the pharmacare program covering diabetes medications.
- The call follows the Trudeau government signing four-year pharmacare funding agreements with B.C., P.E.I., Manitoba, and Yukon, but leaving nine deals unsigned.
- The signed deals total $928.5 million, over 60% of the $1.5 billion budget, yet Diabetes Canada says the program covers limited diabetes treatments and outdated products.
- Glenn Thibeault said the government could improve pharmacare using the dental care plan’s model, aiming to cover more medicines mainly for people without private insurance.
- This situation suggests inequity risks from unsigned deals and ongoing government uncertainty about fully implementing national pharmacare coverage.
