Canada’s universal public healthcare system is unique among developed countries insofar as it does not include universal coverage of prescription drugs.

Canada’s universal public healthcare system is unique among developed countries insofar as it does not include universal coverage of prescription drugs. Universal, public coverage of prescription drugs has been recommended by major national commissions in Canada dating back to the 1960s. It has not, however, been implemented.

Your assignment will be to analyze the debate over universal coverage, based on two newspaper articles:

‘Canada can’t afford national pharmacare program’, by Aaron Wudrick

https://www.thespec.com/opinion-story/9444551-canada-can-t-afford-national-pharmacare-program/

‘Yes, to national pharmacare – because we already paid for it’, by Tom Koch

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-yes-to-national-pharmacare-because-we-already-paid-for-it/

Both articles are also available on the Eclass site.

The essay must choose a side of the debate. However, both sides of the debate must be given serious consideration. Do not simply ignore or belittle the position you oppose. Essays must be written in proper essay format, including the proper usage of citation and bibliographic styles. There are several essay writing aids available to students.

The essay must have a clear introduction, which outlines the topic and the position taken (thesis) and a conclusion, which reinforces and reflects on the argument made and evidence provided.

Note: Outside resources are not needed to complete this assignment successfully. Students may use a maximum of two outside sources, which may help in writing the assignment. However, the main ideas should come from the two articles that have been provided. Any outside sources used need to be properly cited within the assignment and included in the bibliography.
