Fundamentally, this initiative came after the authority of the Ontario Health refused to fund the provision of a cancer patient of 35 years, Jill Anzarut, who needed treatment with Herceptin. The authority anyway, leaping from his responsibility by claiming that the patient's tumor is not large enough to qualify under the state program of health insurance. Then the lady had to spend $ 40,000 and the drug was administered to her in a private clinic.

Speaking on the topic, Deb Matthews, Minister of Health, said drug Herceptin is a very valuable and savings that are immediately available to patients who participate in breast cancer. If you need to demonstrate that the drug, so drug should be used to help patients, even if the criteria are not met.

As for the policy of the state health care costs of Herceptin can be given only if the tumor is larger than a centimeter. But now go to the government in support of these patients also have smaller tumors.
