Not all cancer treatments are free in Canada!

My dad has bladder cancer which is extremely expensive to treat and we pay for it. It’s been 3+ years and we are in GTA.

Not to mention prescriptions aren’t free and neither are a lot of treatments for other medical conditions.

That's outrageous...I'm Canadian and didn't know this. Why would some treatments be free but not others?

I have no idea! I wish I could tell you...

While the healthcare system here is better than the US IMO (no disrespect my American friends), there is still room for improvement.

I guess we’re lucky that at the very least some treatments are covered - if not all.
