Taxpayers are already, then, covering a much greater proportion of these drug costs. I thought they were just in that $13 billion. That makes this even more affordable if I think about implementation going forward.
In the exclusion of the roughly $3.8 billion that was excluded based on the Quebec formulary, I saw a sub-note saying that it was mostly medicinal dressings or dressings with medicinal additives. What else is excluded? What would somebody in a private plan today not have access to because of the Quebec formulary? Is it mostly lifestyle drugs, besides dressings?
