Certains Canadiens qui souffrent d'une affection ou d'une maladie grave assument des coûts très élevés pour obtenir des médicaments d'ordonnance, ce qui leur impose un fardeau financier onéreux ou catastrophique. [...] Pour les Canadiens et leur famille, la couverture des médicaments onéreux aidera à faire en sorte que tous ceux qui ont besoin de médicaments très onéreux pourront y avoir accès, peu importe où ils vivent ou leur capacité de payer. Aucun Canadien ne devrait assumer un fardeau financier excessif lorsqu'il doit recourir à une pharmacothérapie. 1, record 1, French, - couverture%20des%20m%C3%A9dicaments%20on%C3%A9reux
