Pharmacare is a Canadian proposal for a publicly funded insurance program for medications,[1] similar to Medicare for health insurance. Limited pharmacare programs exist in the provinces of Ontario,[2] Manitoba,[3] and British Columbia.[4] Multiple organizers and commenters have advocated a pan-Canadian pharmacare program to complement the existing health system, but the precise model for implementation is unclear.[5][6][7]
