You asked for it!

After considering feedback from our #advisorpartners, BBD has partnered with the #CGIB to create a fully pooled #CatastrophicHybridPlan!

So, what's different compared to our other Catastrophic Plans?

@richard680news Are the remaining 58 people fully vaccinated or unknown vaccination status?

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

296 new cases of COVID-19 -- we haven't seen these numbers since May 2020.

74.9% of the adult population now has their 1st dose
16.7% of the adult population has been fully vaccinated.

@CityCynthia Thanks Cynthia, any idea why the vaccinations are so low?

[Melanie Elliott @BBDMel]

@bbdcanada There is still a lot of opportunity for advisors! Is there room in the budget for an HCSA or Wellness acct now? Mental Health initiatives are super important and there are amazing EAPs out there that can support plan members. My glass is half full!

[Melanie Elliott @BBDMel]

@bbdcanada A5 - Don't get me wrong... I love CANADA! But I do worry about the government's ability to properly manage such a large undertaking! Do they have the capacity and ability to properly run this program?

[Melanie Elliott @BBDMel]

@bbdcanada A4 - How cool would it be if all government systems talked to each other? No more having to navigate Trillium and your private insurer for high cost drugs! This could be a plus for many!

Jeremy Stankov and Dave Patriarche are dueling with words on the 26th but I think it's fair to say they are both pretty passionate about this topic!!! #nationalpharmacare #BBDChat

[Benefits by Design @bbdcanada]

@BBDMel They're dueling with words, right @BBDMel ? I don't think we approved the use of swords...

In all seriousness, it's going to be a great debate, and you can register for the webinar here: https://t.co/xXat6YUcU1

@BBDJohnWalker @bbdcanada Not a doubt in my mind that he does know a thing or two!!! @BBDJohnWalker

[Melanie Elliott @BBDMel]

@bbdcanada A3 - this is a great question! It certainly means a lot of changes for our industry. Can't wait to hear Jeremy Stankov and Dave Patriarche duel this out at the webinar on September 26th!

Q2: We work with #Advisors from all over the country, many with varying levels of public drug coverage. So - what does pharmacare look like to you and in your province?

[Melanie Elliott @BBDMel]

@bbdcanada @BBDJohnWalker Since he's the new guy we will let it slide ;)

[Melanie Elliott @BBDMel]

@BBDJohnWalker @bbdcanada Hey @BBDJohnWalker did you google it!? 🤣
