pay? Canada? health care?
much confused
You have to pay for medication if you don't have insurance unless it is a necessity.
2 things that arent covered that is bullshit is medication and dentistry. But say you have a heart attack, get hit by a car etc. your room, any operation, the medication (in the hospital) and the bare minimum required physiotherapy are all covered.
But while in the hospital the television, the quality of the room, the phone etc all that is very expensive. Any medication needed afterwards that isn't vital, any extra physio etc. all has to be handled by insurance or it comes out of your pocket.
It's a pain in the ass but at the end of the day it's great, when my pops had a stroke we didn't have to pay anything. When my boy's sister got smoked by a drunk driver (who never got caught) and her skull cracked she got operated on same night, metal plate in her head, survived and their fam paid nothing.
