Yes.
With regard to something that was touched on by Mr. Oliver, you also used what I will call a conservative discount rate of 25% on a truly national bulk-buying program. We've heard references to the pan-Canadian pharmaceutical alliance, but my understanding is that it's a public purchasing plan. It's not buying all the drugs for all private and public plans in the country.
My information is that the U.S. veterans association pays about 50% less than the Canadian public plans pay for generic drugs, and 40% less than current Canadian list prices. A study in health care policy found that New Zealand paid 51% less than British Columbia for four large established classes of drugs. A recent study by the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board, in comparing the prices of prescription generics in Canada to other industrialized countries, found that for most programs potential cost savings of 40% to 50% seemed feasible.
Would I be correct in assuming that your 25% assumption is probably prudent and it is possible that we achieve savings beyond 25% over current prices from bulk buying?
