Co-pay for medicines dispensed in the hospitals-new regulation

IMPORTANT NEWS: the government has new legislation in which patients have to pay 10% of medicines that are dispensed in the hospital according to resolution of 10 sept/2013
And you say, well, 10% is NOTHING, I pay 40% for my prescriptions!.
But these are patients with chronic disease, that take other medicines as well, usually a lot of them.

the diseases included are: chronic myeloid leukemia, lung cancer, breast cancer, brain cancer, multiple sclerosis among others.

the maximum price per bottle is 4.2 €. and almost every medicine will pay the maximum (at least the cancer-related ones)

Nine CCAA have decided NOT to implement this, they are: Canarias, Andalucía, Aragón, País Vasco, Cataluña, Comunidad Valenciana, Extremadura, Castilla y León and Baleares.

it doesn't affect ua (costa del sol) for now, let´s hope it stays this way!
