小可一家：曾经的快乐和现实的无助

吴先生一直没有提到他们遇到的困难，当记者问起在回家治疗之后的药费问题时，他才说：“在所有这么长时间当中，在家中治疗的用药，都要自己负担。具体我问过社工。我现在单位有保险，差不多可以COVER80％，但他说剩下的钱也很昂贵。他说要帮我去申请一些癌症基金的帮助。但是那就是批了，也要几个月以后，这之前的那20％，还是要自己付的。”


this is not correct, if the co-pay part - 20% of the drug cost is over his 4% income of last year, it could be paid by ontario trilum drug plan.
For example, if Mr WU's last year income is 30000, then, he only need to pay $1200 for the drugs in a year, the rest should be paid by ontario drug plan. He should pick up application kit or call ontario health for applicaion kit.
He can apply any time.
