I agree, we tend to just see the Parkinsons patients who have money, as they are the ones who can afford computers to communicate with other Parkinsons patients. The money people also have the transportation to get to and from meetings. The money people are also those who take the medications, and as such, are the ones who have all the questions on the medications. The question arises as to if the medications prolong your life? Do the medications actually give you a better life? I don't know about the States, but here in Canada, drugs are not covered under our health plan unless you are a patient in the hospital. We are presently trying to get drug coverage included in our health plan. If medications give Parkinsons patients a better life, medications should be available to everyone. If this sounds like socialism, then so be it. Billy [log in to unmask]
