@MtimmonsTimmons How can we claim that Canadians pay for healthcare with their health card and not their VISA as when it comes to prescriptions they are required to pay out of pocket or find alternative coverage for essential and possibly life saving medications #PHARM4420

[Meaghan McGrath @MegMcGrath25]

Unfortunately not true for most. Most Canadians seeking care outside of a hospital setting (medications, dental, optometry etc.) are paying out of pocket to receive medically necessary care #PHARM4420

In Canada, you pay for health care with your health card. Not your credit card.

Some think this is negotiable. It’s not.

@annav_edwards with the implementation of pharmacist led clinics #PHARM4420

[Meaghan McGrath @MegMcGrath25]

@annav_edwards #PHARM4420 We have been seeing the burden of this large number without family doctors, often referring people to services such as 811 and medicuro. These services have also become burdened with increasing wait times. I agree it is time for NL to follow suit of other provinces

And ordering/interpreting lab tests in order for patients to be provided with the best and most effective care. (2/2) #PHARM4420

Pharmacist lead clinics can be a great asset to this province especially in rural areas where seeing a physician may be near impossible. However, they need to come with an expanded scope for pharmacists e.g. prescribing for UTIs, Oral contraceptives (1/2)
