the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly

how does coverage work if you have diabetes versus if you dont

PP

private plans vary by employer more than by province. two members with the same job title got different answers, n of 1 obviously

PP

the canada to us gap was reported at roughly a third to a half of the us price a year or two ago, and that will have moved

TT

update on the earlier thing i was wrong in here about a province covering it, i had read about a pilot programme and assumed it was policy

PP

as of when i last checked, some provinces covered the diabetes indication and none i knew of covered weight outright

YV

is there a national picture at all or is it entirely provincial

a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter

quebec is different
