Medicine in Canada

   Before writing about how my wife was giving birth, I will write about medicine in general. I'm just amazed at the people who are not just unhappy with Canadian medicine and ardent advocate of her haters!
Sorry for that entry, I'm just like most Canadians, are happy and very much so with the way things work here. The only minus  that there is no desire to keep the child in the womb when the threat of miscarriage before 12 weeks of pregnancy. In the event of a threat in the hands of all women and how she insists on its treatment. But, all in order. Today I will write about health insurance.

   In Canada, the medicine is free, but not quite :) It all depends on the province. In Saskatchewan, for example, you are not paying for honey. insurance in general, and in British Columbia, it is worth $ 128 a month for a family of three, ie $ 1,536 per year. Not a little, but not much for the three of them, given the Canadian pay and level of service. As is the case in other provinces - I did not recognize.
This insurance does not cover dental and eye doctor, beautician and massage therapist, as well as for calling an ambulance will have to pay separately. Buying drugs, too, at his own expense, but the injections and pills that you are treated in a hospital, while you are under their roof, still covered by insurance. But after discharge, you are given a prescription for the necessary medication and you are buying them for their money.
   Basically, here to see prices you can not pay for insurance, but even the most usual method of family doctor (aka therapist) will cost you about $ 40-70 and above, the amount depends on the doctor or clinic. Choose you :)
If you are working on a fairly decent company, the more likely it will cover the cost of honey. insurance. Just like my husband's company pays insurance for the whole family, plus covers 80% of the dentists, 80% of the cost of prescription drugs by prescription, massage to a certain amount per person per year (about 5 sessions), an ambulance, VIP chambers in hospitals and more much of anything. We are very fortunate in this regard!
   Also, if you earning less than $ 33,000 per family per year, the state gives you a subsidy, ie you pay less and up to zero if the family income does not exceed $ 22,000 per year.
It seems to be told by health insurance, but should take into account the fact that each province can have their moments, at least now you know how things work in British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
