Re: some canadians get some kind of prescription drug benefit, most do not.

More than half of Canadians get prescription coverage from employers. Even most of the smallest employers provide some drug benefits. Like the U.S., Canada has a national drug plan called Medicare that provides drug benefits to seniors 65 and over. Provinces also provide some drug benefits to low-income residents. About 5 percent of Canadians have no drug coverage.
