What about seniors ?
ReplyDeleteAgain, what about the seniors who pay when they have no coverage. Trillium is available for a cost for each prescription. And, not all prescriptions are covered. Doctors have to sometimes make adjustments to the pills. There is a plan in place for coverage for seniors under a certain income but very few fall in this category.
ReplyDeleteWho is going to pay for this?Oh Ya I forgot there is a money tree in my backyard,not.
