It's because of how your province negotiated the contract for the drugs. I guarantee that there's language in there that has penalties if there's supply problems.
Countries that don't negotiate drug prices/contracts are the ones that are suffering with shortages.
Insert Morpheus meme about people's worst fears about socialism being realized under capitalism.
Thanks for the info. Sorry that's happening where you live
Keep in mind It adds to the price for those conditions.
Compared to what? The prices of drugs literally everywhere are cheaper than in the US. So we have problems with supplies and the highest prices.
We have literally the worst of all possible healthcare systems.
It's also less expensive in Canada .
More expensive > not available at all
