The Canadian Medical Association called on governments Wednesday to bring in programs to cover catastrophic drug costs. Dr. Scott Cameron, the P.E.I. delegate who introduced the resolution, said the program should cover prescription drug costs that exceed three per cent of a family's after-tax income. He noted that in Atlantic Canada 25 per cent of the population doesn't have prescription drug coverage.

Maybe, big business drug companies shouldn't gouge people for prescriptions and then everyone could be healthy, including everyone's wallet.
