Lots of other things in the agreement with the NDP have moved forward. But the PharmaCare piece, I think legitimately is a little tougher nut to crack. There is nothing like the lobby that we see in PharmaCare. In, for example, dental care, you don't see that huge pushback. So this is about kind of bringing the voices back reminding people that people suffer from these issues every single day. And we are in our drug system, just like America.
And I've got somebody in The Faces of PharmaCare, same thing. She decided not to treat her high blood pressure, and ended up with a stroke, just simply for $20 worth of medication a month. So, these are the things we're trying to highlight to get people to understand. If you are healthy, that's great. But it doesn't take much to just go over that line a little bit and then start to run into these problems.
