Prescription drug access is essential to health and longevity. When an acute illness or chronic condition strikes, you never want to be faced with difficult financial realities that can lead patients to not completing their recommended course of treatment. Beyond any medications given while in hospital, many working Canadians are responsible for the full cost of medications. Some prescription drug coverage support is available to Canadians in difficult circumstances. In Ontario, seniors aged 65 and older, residents under the age of 25, and individuals on social assistance or disability support, receive some coverage from The Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) program.
The average Canadian spends more than $1,500 per year on prescription drugs (Canadian Institute for Health Information). Rubinoff Engel Drug Coverage alleviates this burden.
