Ontario NDP promise take-home cancer drug coverage ahead of election
30 April 2018 - NDP Leader Andrea Horwath is promising universal access to take-home cancer drugs if her party wins the spring election.
Horwath says an NDP government would spend $42 million each year to cover patients whose health insurance plans don’t currently cover those types of drugs.
In Ontario, cancer drugs administered in hospitals are free but take-home drugs often have a cost.
