Manitoba man with SMA seeks adults 25+ drug coverage
Jeremy Bray, 29, of Rivers, lives with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 and fights for Manitoba Health to cover Sprinraza and risdiplam for adults. He meets Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara on Tuesday to urge lifting the age cap, noting trials excluded older adults and other G7 countries fund all ages. Bray works full-time as a data analyst for the Louis Riel School Division in Winnipeg using a left-thumb controlled keyboard and wheelchair.
