So how much does it cost to get Minister Jerome Kennedy's attention.
Perhaps this can be answered by looking at the Contributions to Political Parties in 2010. It was not an election year - but one must not take any chances.
Shopper's Drug Mart was among the top donors again with $8500 to the PC's.
Strange though - ironic? Hardly! In this year Shopper's Drug Mart was able to get their own line of prescription drugs listed in our formulary in record time. In this year the Minister refuses to meet with the trade group that represents the majority of independent pharmacy owners in our province. After-all what's happening in Ontario should happen here right Minister?
What's happening in Ontario is killing small independent pharmacies - particularly in rural communities!
Then there is the elimination of seniors rights in personal care homes. You know where Lawton's or Shopper's give or offer a hefty check to the homeowners to guarantee access to the prescription drug purchases of residents.
More to come....
