Jesus and in the Bible of how we
ought to live. He stated "God will
continue to give us His gifts and

something great."

Effective August 1. we have a new law in Ontario.
It will allow almost everyone who is 65 or older and
has been an Ontario resident for at least the past 12
months 10 receive most prescription drugs free.
That means prescriptions written by physician or
dentist and filled in Ontario Only those drugs listed in
Ontario s Drug Benefit Formulary are free.
Here is who is eligible:
Ontario residents who receive Old Age Security.
If , ,o are 65 or older and are presently receiving
an uld Age Security cheque from the federal gov-
ernment. you will automatically receive your new
Drug Benefit Eligibility Card before August 1 (And, of
course. if you are already getting a drug benefit card,
you will continue to get one.) You don't have to do
anything about it.
Ontario residents not receiving Old Age Security.
If you are 65 or older, and have lived in Ontario for
at least the past year but less than 10 years. you too
are entitled to Ontario's prescription drug benefits.
But because we don't know who you are. you II have
to apply for the drug benefit card — at your pharmacy
or from the Miaistry of Health Aher you're enrolled,
you'll automatically receive your drug benefit card.
Here's how Drug Benefit works.
There are more than 1,500 prescription drugs
listed in the Ministry of Health's Drug Benefit Formu-
lary. When you visit a physician or dentist. tell him you
qualify for the Drug Benefit so that he can prescribe
medication from the Formulary Then, give your Drug
Benefit Card to the pharmacist Your pharmacy will
keep your card But you can have it returned — in
case you move or want to go to a different pharmacy.
No cost to you.
When you get your prescription. you pay nothing.
The pharmacist will be paid by your Ontario govern-
ment
In Ontario, we wish you the best of health And were
