Pay for it yourself, or go home and die. So much for all of CSIs theories of prompt and adequate care when it comes to life threatening issues. Screw that noise, let me pay for insurance.....

....and the hospital covered the $4,200 for the first round of rituximab pending an appeal to the Health Ministry, she still needs five more treatments of each drug.
Hospitals, what a bunch of assholes.. Take the tinfoil hat off Wayne, it's fucking up your brain

Doesn't do anygood if she can't pay for the rest of the treaments, the hospital only paid for the first one.
Imagine if she was in the US? Shit, she'd be on her 3rd or 4th mortgage by now
I'd give the government a chance to respond and make it right before tossing the entire system under the bus.

A lot of cancer treatment drugs aren't covered by OHIP, I didn't know this was news.

Ok chocolate troll - pay for my treatment. Not everybody can afford a big ass boat, finishing a lavash basement, 3000 + sq ft home, bmw, mini and all the toys, etc etc XD'ing.
dude, this has been beaten to death by ya. I've been in both worlds, paid treatment vs. tax-payers funded treatment.
Yes if you HAVE the funds, go for the paid treatment, but as it STANDS, I dont have the funds and I will gladly use the tax-payers funded treatment.

Nope my opinion was the same back then. I never used the healthcare system. But after paying into it all my life, you bet I expect them to pay for my treatment.
Forget about the US. What about Australia, a country that compares directly with Canada. They have a dual system where you cannot opt out of paying taxes to support the public system, but you can still get private health care. Why can't we do that?
oh i have no problems with two-tier if it doesn't sacrifices the quality of care for the commoners

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/04/28/milton_mother_who_fought_for_cancer_drug_dies.html Yup, drug approved in most other provinces except Ontario. She met with Health Minister Deb Matthews in October and tried unsuccessful to lobby the province to cover the cost of the drug Avastin to prolong her life, as well as the lives of others.
The drug is covered for brain cancer treatment in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, but not Ontario.
In the end, Fletcher was able to access the drug thanks to family and community fundraising efforts and lived an additional eight months, six months longer than her original prognosis.
quit being reactive and be proactive?
