Tons of new drugs are never even marketed in Canada due to this, or marketed much later. Almost all expensive drugs end up being on a special permission list, where you must to beg the government for access. Not any different than dealing with an insurance company, really. At least you can sue an insurer. |

However of course consider delays in getting a drug to market aren’t always provincial; Health Canada has their own timelines and schedules for approvals, sometimes it’s faster than in America and sometimes it’s slower.
The difference is frequently you’re forced to sue insurers as they have a profit motive to screw you. The province only cares about getting you healthy within their means.
