IMO, there is far too much hate for the Canadian system in here. It's not perfect for sure, but for middle and lower income Canadians, we are far, far better off than our American counterparts. Can you imagine losing your home and retirement savings for having the nerve to get cancer?
My history: - complained to doctor about my hormones and got: - bloodwork - abdominal ultrasounds - EKG tests - Vaginal untradounds Price: Free - I got diagnosed with PCOS
Then I had a miscarriage, all blood work and 3 internal ultrasounds.. free.
Then I had more ultrasounds for my next cycles for monitoring.. free
Then I got another miscarriage... here we go with more blood work and ultrasounds. This time I paid $70 for a special blood test.
Then I go to a fertility clinic and do more blood work and ultrasounds. I paid $50 for pills, rest was free
I finally got pregnant and I have ultrasounds every 2-3 weeks to check on growth. My genetic testing was free too. Gestational diabetes tests free.
I have lots of women who are in my friend circle from the states that only get 1 or 2 ultrasounds max each pregnancy. The genetic testing is $500-$1000 for them so many don’t even do them!
I’m SO glad to be in Canada. Having fertility issues is hard enough!

His mother never had to pay for a prescription? Since when do we have free prescriptions?
