Does this Bill include the coverage of drugs?

I've learned that the Canadian health care system doesn't cover drugs. Provided this Bill gets passed, would drugs be covered? That's an extremely important part of our health care.

Okay, now we all know what's going on here.

The primitives aren't interested in free drugs for bodily ailments such as arthritis or diabetes or spastic colon or vitamin deficiencies; the primitives are, really, interested only in free drugs for recreational use, generally the controlled-substances sorts of drugs.

1. First, there isn't any bill. There are supposed to be 5 separate bills coming from 3 House Committees and 2 from the Senate. All but the one from the Senate Finance Committee have been drafted. How drugs are handled will be by the individual policies offered by each provider.

2. Does either undrafted Bill have the potential to NOT cover drugs?

If so, how could that benefit those of us who currently have drugs covered with our current coverage?

3. Then keep what you have. P.S. If something's undrafted, it doesn't exist.

What sort of exotic prescription drugs are these DUmmies taking?  Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and most drug chains have hundreds of prescription medications for very low prices, usually $4/month.  In fact, I'm on two different prescription meds that I don't use my health insurance for.  My local drug store has them cheaper than my insurance co-pay.

I think the DUmmies should push for drug legalization as well as drug coverage. Their
socialist representatives could easily roll the drug laws back to pre-Pure Food and Drug
Act levels, and then cover them with government insurance funded by normal people.
Instead of DUmmies getting their weed from the highschool dropout down the block,
then having to travel into the diverse ghetto for their crack, and then back to Walgreen's
for their psychiatric drugs, they could get them all in one place.

The mantra of the left should be Single Dealer.
