The new Drug flenefit
Program which provides drugs
free of charge 'to more than
548,000 Ontario residents has
been in effect for only two
weeks, and already it is
plagued with problems. Many
people eligible for assistance in-
cluding recipients of Federal
Guaranteed Income Sup-
plement (GIS), Ontario
Guaranteed Annual Income
System (GAINS) and Family
Benefits Allowance, have been
severely criticizing the
program.
The original intention of the
program was to alleviate the
burden of the high cost of
health care to those who could
least afford it. However, in
some cases the program is of no
value since the drugs needed by
certain, patients are not listed
in the Government formulary
and cannot be dispensed free of
charge. Only certain drugs will
be paid for under the scheme,
and this has led to very real
problems for some patients.
Some physicians are reluctant
to substitute drugs listed in the
Government formulary for the
one they were prescribing
previous to the start of the
program. Therefore, some
physicians write prescriptions
for the drugs with which they
are familiar but are not ap-
proved under the program,
leaving the patient no further
ahead than before.
Another problem is that the
plan does not pay for all types
of medications. The formulary
does not allow certain com-
bination drugs, laxatives and
some high-priced drugs. Our of-
fices at Queen's Park have been
deluged with phone calls from
people unable to obtain drugs
which their doctors prescribe,
some of which are life-
sustaining.
Another aspect of the plan
which is hard to comprehend is
the fact that certain compound
drugs are not, found in the list.
As a result, these prescriptions
must be written individually,
forcing the patient to take three
pills rather than one. Further-
more, a person who was taking
a ""'&)iiipound prescription'
previously paid for thb‘cesfrof
the pills plus a dispensing fee
to the pharmacist. Under the
new plan, the pharmacist will
get a dispensing fee for sup-
plying a month's supply of each
of the three tables, so the
dispensing fee is three times as
high as it would be for one
compound pill. If the Govern-
ment is serious about reducing
health costs, it must include
some of these compound drugs
when it revises, the formulary.
The Ontario Pharmacists
Association said the formulary
will have to be expanded to in-
clude some therapeutically
valuable drugs that were omit-
ted.
Some people have criticized
the fact that only one month's
supply of drugs can be dispen-
sed at a time. For drugs that
have to be taken for an exten-
ded period of time, this is a
very uneconomical quantity.
Also, a new prescription must
be written every three months,
even if the drug will be needed
indefinitely.

.Benefits Program is basically
an excellent idea, but there are
some kinks which have to be
worked out before -the program
becomes totally satisfactory.
The Government was late in
advertisihg the program, and as
a result people were not
prepared and well informed
beforehand. I hope the Govern,
ment will listen to the cam-
plaints that have been raised,
and make the necessary ad-
ditions to the new formulary
which will come out January
1st, of next year.
Another issue raised at
Queen's Park recently was the
unfairness of the present
GAINS legislation whereby an
increase in Federal benefits.
means a decrease in money
received tinder GAINS,. Effec-
tive October 1, the basic ow
Age Pension increases from
$112.95 to $117.02, the
maximum GIS for a single per-
son increases from $79.23 to
$82,08, Therefore,. someone
receiving rnaximum benefits
from the Federal Government
Will receive an increase of
about $7.00, but the cheque
received from GAINS would be
87.00 lower, so the increase is
annihilated,.
The Government announced
that it .is thinking about this
problem and a decision on the
pension boost will he made
shortly, I think it is imperative
that the Ontario Government
allow old-age pensienerS to
receive the increase granted
them by the Federal Govern-
ment This money has been ear-
marked to help senior citizens
cope with the problems of in-
flation and the difficulties of
living on a fixed income- I
would urge the Provincial
Government to amend the
GAINS legislation to ensure
that it brings the maximum
relief to old-age pensioners in
Ontario who are in desperate
need of help.
