A suitable pharmacare program would be a publicly funded and administered system that provides coverage for prescription drugs to all Canadians.

If the legislation is passed but not fully implemented by the end of 2025, the market will still resolve as YES.

Update 2025-05-17 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): A program that provides coverage for some prescription drugs to all Canadians (such as the initial phase described in Bill C-64) will count for a YES resolution. It is not required that the program cover all prescription drugs.

Poilievre makes this seem unlikely

Hi! What happens if Bill C-64 passes, which will provide coverage for some prescription drugs to all Canadians -- but not ALL prescription drugs? https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/news/2024/02/government-of-canada-introduces-legislation-for-first-phase-of-national-universal-pharmacar.html

@SE I'm inclined to count it.

@kenakofer Even though it doesn't include almost all drugs?

@Lexer Yeah. It will be too hard for me to adjudicate more complicated conditions. Feel free to link markets with other conditions

I created my own market on the legislation passing in 2023:

@makeworld Nice! How do you think our resolution criteria compare other than the date difference?

@kenakofer your market requires certain features of the pharmacare legislation, like public funding. My only requirement is that the NDP vote for it (and it passes).
