Big Government vs. Everyone Else: The Truth About the Bizarre World of Drug Benefit Programs in Canada

In the Globe and Mail’s Report on Business (ROB) dated November 2016 there appeared an eight-page report entitled, “Big Pharma vs. Everyone”. Below is a counterpoint article to the one found in ROB. It has been written to set the record straight and to inform Canadians accurately about the pharmaceutical system and the difficulty in getting reimbursement of innovative drug products in this country.

Neither the authors nor The Cameron Institute received any funding for this report. Both authors have served as senior public servants and tenured university professors.
