From the NDP website:

"OTTAWA — The Conservatives have released their version of pharmacare. This is what it means:

Gross income: $150,000
Deductible: $5,000
Percentage of income: 3.3%

Gross income: 100,000
Deductible: $5,000
Percentage of income: 5%

Gross income: $50,000
Deductible: $5,000
Percentage of income: 10%

Gross income: $25,000
Deductible: $5,000
Percentage of income: 20%

Gross income: $15,000
Deductible: $5,000
Percentage of income: 33%

Harper said during his health announcement yesterday, "I believe, and the new Conservative party believes, that every Canadian should have timely access to quality health-care services regardless of ability to pay. I strongly support universal health care."

Except when it comes to accessible medication, it seems.

His pharmacare proposal is truly catastrophic. "
