Reply #8: My prescriptions ...

[murphyj87]

My prescriptions cost me $175 a month here in Canada and my information is that they would be well over $800 in the United States. In addition to that, in Nova Scotia and Manitoba (provinces with NDP provincial governments) people who do not have a drug plan through employment, once they pay 3% of the net income (after tax deductions - average tax deductions in Canada are $20,000 - the personal deduction which everyone gets is $11,000 alone), the province pays 80% of the remainder. The prescriptions which cost me $175 a month, after I pay 3% of my net income on prescriptions, cost me $35, and would cost you well over $800 in the United States
