yeah. i've been suffering from chronic backpains for some years now. though didn't want to go surgery. to manage pain, i am being prescribed NSAIDs. mind you, it ain't cheap! it's like a tablet costs already one full meal! how come this wasn't included in the cheaper meds law?

Mar should make this one of the centerpieces of his campaign. The cheaper medicines act will benefit a lot of Filipinos in the succeeding generations. It seems this was forgotten in all the election hype.

the pharmaceutical lobby is one of the most organized and well funded lobbying group in the Philippines. Mar earned my respect when despite the bribes being offered by the big pharmaceutical companies, he still pushed through with the cheaper medicines act

i have no beef against these pharma lobbyists, they're just doing their job. what i don't understand is that our congressmen who are supposed to fight for the welfare of the populace aren't brave and dedicated enough to refuse these lobbyists. again it boils down to political will. look at india, they reversed engineered imported meds and made it their own industry. now they're exporting cheap medicines. guess where DOH gets its annual stocks of meds? there's nothing wrong with copying advanced countries' meds, just make it look legit. if you can remember, japan once did this. they bought a prototype TV, disassembled it, then did their own innovations, now they're a powerhouse in TV manufacturing. i say we do the same, buy meds, break them apart, study them, innovate and make it our own, even if we don't do it for commercial or trading purposes. just enough to sustain our country's overall wellness.

Christian your the man, Kasi nga naman mayayaman sila kaya dapat sila ang paboran ng batas. Lugi ang mga mahihirap, may sakit na sila mahal pa ng gamot na bibilhin nila. Ang mayayaman, mayaman na mura pa ng gamot nila. It's so unfair di ba?... pare-parehas lang kaming nagbabayad ng buwis na sinusweldo mo MAR ROXAS...

I thinks its best to approach this topic in a more holistic reasoning than just shallowly pining on the concept of rich vs poor and what is due to such. Disease or sickness does not discreminate. it does not chose who it plagues. Only the society, the people classify certain sickness as "sakit ng mayaman" or "sakit ng mahirap". To give due credit to this acievement, we should look at the severity of the illness and how the Law has helped ease alot of financial burden to patients. Yes, some members are right for saying that everyday common ilnesses should also be included but please, dont cloud the relief this law has and will continue to give patients and their families. If anything, i believe that we all strive lift our country's way of life. I believe that this is a bold step towards improvement. I believe that this has given hope to our nation and hope for better health care. Centuries ago, medicines were founded to alleviate if not eradicate diseases. Now we all hope again. Hope that the future can improve. Alot of Filipinos are sick and dying but it doesnt have to stop there. It can get better but we ave to push for it. Sen. Mar has started this for us and Im thankful for that. There is alot of work to be done in the health sector but the important thing is taking the first step. Now we are aware that someone can hear our pleas and is ready to fight for our concerns.

Relative to my previous comment and proposed idea, i am informed that the government is making the pag-ibig membership compulsory to OFWs, and local wrokers (i am not sure about this, though), but you see, i do not find pagibig memebership more important than the national health insurance that may be handled by philhealth. Philhealth can just expand the coverage, and if necessary inrease membership contribution in accordance to the salary being received. Even if the monthly contribution is in the lowest range, member can still undergo consultation, and be provided medicine is necessary for just a P200/consultation. The Philhealth can always partner with pharmaceutical companies for the medicines - generic or not.
If this health system idea will considered at least on the drawing table, you will see how it will benefit everyone, of the Filipinos, young and old. This will become a legacy on your rein as Vice president, and will ensure your presidency come next election.
