Record 2 2005-08-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Health Insurance
CONT

Some Canadians with serious health conditions or illnesses may face very high prescription drug costs. This can lead to a serious-or "catastrophic"-financial burden.... For individual Canadians and their families, Catastrophic Drug Coverage will help to ensure that no one will be denied access to necessary, very high-cost drugs based on where they live, or their ability to pay. No Canadian should suffer undue financial hardship for needed drug therapy.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Assurance-maladie
CONT

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.
