YES, WE ARE ALL MAGGOTS
A fair price for drugs
A fair price for drugs
Do you think it is fair that you should have to pay five to 10 times more for the same generic drugs compared to someone in the United States or New Zealand?
Absolutely not.
Sadly, compared to some U.S. states, we pay as much as five times more for some of the most popular generic drugs for diabetes, high blood pressure and other health conditions.
In what other industry do the manufacturers pay the retailers to sell their product? I can't think of any. And where does that money come from? The manufacturer charges you for that because it gets rolled into the cost of the drug.
But that's not going to be happening for much longer. Soon, Ontarians are going to be able to enjoy better prices for generic drugs because the McGuinty government is taking steps to improve Ontario's drug system.
Our government is, and remains, committed to providing the best possible care and health care options for Ontarians -- and that starts with paying a fair price for our generic drugs.
When the current system was introduced, the money that the manufacturers paid the pharmacies was supposed to go toward patient care. But based on reports from the pharmacies themselves, 70 per cent of this money has actually gone toward fringe benefits, salaries, bonuses and overhead costs instead. And we aren't talking chump change here. In 2009, generic drug manufacturers reported paying pharmacy owners more than $750 million.
Pharmacies claim that, because the government is eliminating this unaccountable payment, they will have to reduce services and that some pharmacies would even have to close their doors.
They claim that people in rural areas would not be able to get their prescriptions filled.
However, the pharmacy budgets are not so tight as to prevent them from purchasing full page ads to personally attack me as a local MPP, as part of a well-financed province-wide campaign, as I stand up for transparency and accountability in the system.
The truth is, under our new reforms, our government would pay pharmacies directly for providing a wider range of health care services. We are going to pay pharmacies in rural and under-serviced areas up to $4 more in dispensing fees.
We want to ensure that if you live in these areas, you will still have access to your prescriptions.

To File A Complaint...You Will Need....$605.00 at the City of Woodstock
AND THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU DISMISS THE INTEGRITY COMMISSIONER...THANKS WOODSTOCK COUNCIL AND MAYOR HARDING FOR HIDING UNDER THE TABLE...AGAIN
And this is what happens when you get rid of the guy who was supposed to oversee council and their actions. Instead, the adminstration, mayor and council of Woodstock in a dirty deal dismissed this position despite that being totally against their own bylaws.
What is true though, in 2 minutes I was able to trace the screen colours, operating system, keystrokes for the previous 7 minutes, network service provider, the number of times the city of Woodstock computers accessed the site,(106 in one day...I wonder what these people do for a living besides surf the web?)and what they had been reading and posting.
If the city cannot do this job in a few minutes, I would suggest replacing the IT guy...he's gotta be scamming us...besides, the city runs a program called...deep freeze...the info is there, only a keystroke away, and it shouldn't be $605.00 to find it.
Frankly, the Mayor of Woodstock should be ashamed of himself, and all of those councillors that sat back with their thumbs in their asses when this issue was discussed...the IC position, should feel the same, and if they don't they should resign.
What I find Mostly Disturbing About The Jaffer Case....John, Jim and Steve.
JIM, JOHN AND STEVE
If Jim Prentice was aware that Jaffer had lobbied him regarding "green" industries, wouldn't he have been aware that Jaffer was violating lobbyist rules for ex-politicos as Jaffer had just lost his seat, and why would Prentice have waited until Jaffer/Guergis were busted to say anything?If John Baird was aware that Jaffer had lobbied him regarding "green" industries, wouldn't he have been aware that Jaffer was violating lobbyist rules for ex-politicos as Jaffer had just lost his seat, and why would Baird have waited until Jaffer/Guergis were busted to say anything?
If Mr Harper was aware that Jaffer had lobbied his ministers' regarding "green" industries, wouldn't he have been aware that Jaffer was violating lobbyist rules for ex-politicos as Jaffer had just lost his seat, and why would Harper have waited until Jaffer/Guergis were busted to say anything?
Yes, they all sound the same, because they are the same.
Considering the PM and his two top ministers were all aware that Jaffer had lost his seat, wouldn't they all be in breach of the lobbying act?
