A remarkable 59 per cent of those who can91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t afford their prescription drugs are on an inadequate private or public drug plan, where people can91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t afford their share of the cost. Adding more patches to try to fill the gaps will neither control the rapid increase in the cost of prescription drugs nor provide adequate drug coverage. The only reasonable solution is a universal single-payer pharmacare system.
