What happened
The Canadian Medical Association launched the “Healthy Economy” campaign to advocate for health care prioritization in the next federal budget. The campaign frames health care as an investment in the economy rather than merely an expense. The CMA cited research estimating that poor health and caregiving pressures cost the Canadian economy more than $100 billion in lost output in 2025.

Why it matters
The CMA argues that timely care enables people to work and contribute to their communities. Research referenced by the CMA suggests that reducing health-related barriers to work by 25% could unlock more than $25 billion in economic gains annually.
