I read the letter when it came in the mail, but didn’t research any further since it doesn’t affect me directly. I am on the Trillium programme and it covers most of what I need, but yeah, not everything.
But the epipens for kids who need them is fantastic. It won’t do anything for lack of education but I think it will be huge for parents who can’t really afford to get them for their kids — many loving parents will go without their own, perhaps vital, prescriptions to be able to buy just one autoinjector for their child. This will hopefully mean that the parent is able to take care of their children and their own health needs at the same time. So many people are denied Ontario Works or ODSP benefits because they are working, but that job may be minimum wage without benefits....
