Part 2: Pharmacare and Pharmaceutical Benefits
Some Yukoners receive coverage for drug benefits, others may only receive limited coverage, while some are not covered at all. It can be difficult to support wellness when Yukoners have difficulty obtaining drug coverage. Universal drug coverage can be expensive, though we know that a lack of drug coverage results in poorer health outcomes.
How can we make sure that Yukoners have access to the drug benefits they need while making sure we can still afford to pay the bills?

it would be good to have some relief from drug bills. particularlynifnyuo have treatment outside and you are not hospitalized, you have to pay for all the drugs yourself, some are a thousand dollars a shot. unless you are on a chronic care list, and can fine your way onto the list (quite a challenge) you pay your own. some families take their vacation money and make a medical trip to vancouver the highlight of the summer.....we all figure it out but bills of $300 a month are not unusual in my household
il serait bon d'avoir un certain allégement des factures de médicaments. particulièrementnifnyuo avoir un traitement à l'extérieur et vous n'êtes pas hospitalisé, vous devez payer vous-même tous les médicaments, certains coûtent mille dollars par injection. à moins que vous ne soyez sur une liste de soins chroniques et que vous puissiez vous affiner sur la liste (tout un défi), vous payez vous-même. certaines familles prennent leur argent pour leurs vacances et font un voyage médical à vancouver le point culminant de l'été ... nous avons tous compris mais des factures de 300 $ par mois ne sont pas inhabituelles dans ma maison
