@mgmarkel @Wolven Trikafta, a lifesaving drug for Cystic Fibrosis patients and produced by Vertex, could also use a cap: https://www.statnews.com/pharmalot/2023/02/20/cystic-fibrosis-drug-costs-copays-vertex #Trikafta #CysticFibrosis #CF #VertexPharmaceuticals #CopayAccumulators

.@#nzlabour inherited a chronically underfunded health system. Since 2017 our government has increased the #medicines budget by 43%, letting #Pharmac make more than 200 medicines available - including now #Trikafta"
Could do more, though, #AndrewLittle. I don't mind a small #incomeTax or#GST rise (or a #capitalGains tax) if it will be well spent on #health. .
