Countless Canadians unfortunately are faced with the burden of cancer in one way or another. To put it concisely, my position is that under no circumstances should our healthcare system burden people with the cost to treat and fight the disease. If elected, I would propose universal coverage that would incorporate all needed treatments, as well fight for better security to leave work and spend needed time with family during that time. I believe healthcare needs to truly be universal and one of the richest countries on earth has no excuses.
I hope this helps illustrate where I stand.
