Uninsured Drug Plan Consultations Begin


The Province announcing consultations are underway on the development of a prescription drug plan for the uninsured in our province.

Health Minister Madeline Dube says about 30 per cent of New Brunswickers do not have prescription drug coverage and must pay for their drugs.


Dube says the government is committed to a plan that would fairly subsidize costs based on an person’s ability to pay.

The government wants input on how the plan should be designed, who would be eligible for the plan and the how costs would be shared.


Submissions will be accepted on the Department of Health's website until April 30 and after that will be posted online.
