PelhamToday received the following letter about universal pharmacare.
Be aware, that if you have prescription drug plans through your place of employment, and it`s taken away with universal pharmacare, that it might prove costly for you!
My wife and I are seniors and some prescriptions we were prescribed were not covered under the Ontario Drug Benefit Plan, and some were very costly, especially the new RSV drug. I was fortunate to retire with good private prescription drug coverage, and I'm afraid to lose that coverage.
It just seems to me utter nonsense to spend $25 billion dollars for universal pharmacare, when $8 to $10 billion would only be needed for those that have no drug coverage.
If you have private insurance, I urge you to contact your MP and let them know how you feel about losing your private coverage
