Family battles the government to get Parkinson’s drug covered
Description
December 23, 2016
A B.C. family says the provincial government seems to be ignoring the latest studies about a drug used to treat people with advanced cases of Parkinson's. For more than a year they've been lobbying Victoria to cover the cost of that drug and say the government's decision not to fund the treatment is based on out-of-date research. Nadia Stewart reports. Today's Global News Hour at 6 Health Matters is brought to you by Pharmasave.
