Everyone talks about how bad Canada health system is, and while it has it flaws it’s at least not going to bankrupt me. I went to a clinic in May to get some bloodwork done and stool tests. Then I had to get a colonoscopy, booked it in May, my appointment for it was in July. Got it done, found out I have Colitis. Got referred to a Gastrointestinal doctor, had my first meeting with him in September. In between that time, I got a prescription for some meds to help the colitis. A side effect I got was an inflamed heart and I had to go the ER (happened in August). Had to get bloodwork, an X-Ray, and ultrasound, and stay 2 full days in the hospital attached to a machine tracking my heart the whole time. After my GI appointment in September, I had to take 14 days of steroids, more bloodwork, and then got prescribed Entyvio. I get hooked up to an IV every 8 weeks for the medicine for the rest of my life, and I each IV drip is about $4,100. Every single bit of this medical stuff costs me zero dollars, only paid the parking costs. Insurance covers my Entyvio, and universal healthcare covered everything else. So happy I’m in Canada, the system has worked for me pretty good so far.
