The aim of the program is to expand and enhance, rather than replace, existing provincial and territorial coverage.\n\nThe PBO estimates that the first phase of national universal pharmacare will increase federal program spending by $1.9 billion over five years. This estimate assumes that any medications that are currently covered by provincial and territorial governments, as well as private insurance providers will remain covered on the same terms.","abstract_fr":"\u00c0 titre de premi\u00e8re phase d\u2019un r\u00e9gime d\u2019assurance m\u00e9dicaments national et universel, le projet de loi C-64 propose d\u2019offrir une couverture universelle au premier dollar \u00e0 payeur unique pour divers m\u00e9dicaments contraceptifs et pour le traitement du diab\u00e8te.
