Centre for Inquiry Canada | Leslie's Diatribes #3: Canadian Insurance and Pharmacy companies collude to coerce @CentreforInquiryCanada | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Canadians with group benefits covered by Manulife will soon be able to fill certain prescriptions only at Loblaw-owned pharmacies, such as Shoppers Drug Mart.
In today’s Diatribe, Leslie fulminates against this blatantly anti-competitive, coercive arrangement that harms everyone it affects except the profits of two of Canada’s largest companies. Leslie explains why this deal ought to be a violation of Canadian law, and predicts that, if allowed to stand, much more - and worse - is to come.
As with all Diatribes, the opinions expressed are Leslie’s alone and do not represent CFIC or any other ogranization.
