Regular Meeting - Prescription Drugs

Prescription Drugs, who is taking them, do they need them, and who can afford them?

Barbara Martinez, also known as the “Drug Lady” is an expert on prescription drug spending in Canada. Are we getting good value for the money spent and is all this drug spending sustainable into the future? Will governments and employers be able to continue to provide drug plan coverage?

Her presentation will take you through the history of prescription drug spending in Canada to outline where drug costs have been and where they are going in the future. If you are covered by a prescription drug plan, or even if you pay for your own prescriptions, you won’t want to miss this discussion.
