Quote:A Pennsylvania man whose son's medicine isn't covered by their family's health insurance plan says he has been traveling to Canada multiple times per year to purchase medicine. Jon Yeagley told CBS News on Wednesday that because the drug used to treat his son's illness is not covered by his health insurance plan, he has chosen to travel to Canada four times per year to purchase it for a substantially lower price than he can find in the U.S. "Right now, I'm paying $15,000 a year for this medicine, which costs in the United States $53,000 a year which I feel is at best, criminal," Yeagley told CBS News.Father says he traveled to Canada for son's medicine that would cost $53K in US | TheHill
