That's all it covers, for now. Canadians have been waiting 60 years for public prescription coverage so this is bigger than it seems, assuming it lasts and gets expanded before the next 60 years. It's definitely a move in the right direction as handling prescriptions nationally will give Canada more leverage with drug companies and save a lot of money.

All the "will pay" in the health act are "may pay" in this act. There's also no timeline for implementation. All this act does is highlight what a bunch of chumps the NDP are.
