Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards
10:50 am

I will try to get the precise number. Let me give an example to illustrate what I am saying. People, families or households, receive the benefit of a medical card at the early stages of cancer treatment, for example. In newly diagnosed cancer cases it can be a very expensive and traumatic time for a household, but that changes.
