Thank you very much.
Thank you for your presentations.
Both countries are using a copay model, either a first dollar and then a copay, or a straight copay. I'm wondering if there was a public policy you were pursuing with the copay decision, or is it simply affordability and trying to take those front-end dollars off the government's cost?
Second, we've been cautioned against using copay if we were looking at a model, because of income disparity and the belief that low-income people would have greater difficulty accessing it and would not fill prescriptions because of affordability in that case.
So, first, was it just a matter of affordability, or why do you have copay? And second, have either of you seen barriers for the poorer people in your economy?
