Make Insulin and Diabetes Supplies Free for All Canadians

The Issue

Millions of Canadians are currently living with diabetes, both type 1 and type 2. This chronic disease not only has a profound impact on their health, but also encumbers their financial stability due to the high cost of insulin and necessary diabetes supplies. Studies have shown that diabetic patients often experience financial hardships and ration their insulin supply because they are unable to afford the costs. This leads to severe medical complications and can be life-threatening. Providing free diabetic supplies and insulin to Canadian citizens will alleviate these hardships and contribute to healthier lives. Therefore, we call on the Canadian government to assure that insulin and all diabetic supplies and support are provided free of cost for Canadians living with diabetes. Your support can lead to a significant change in the Canadian healthcare system. Please sign this petition and support our campaign.
