🍁 Canada drug plan inequities and your VHL?

Will cost of medication for VHL-related problems be a problem for you? Is cost of medication a problem right now? Would private insurance for drug coverage or a national (or provincial) pharmacare plan make a difference to you? (I’m not trying to ask your “political” opinion)
