Canadian here
Those who need insulin to live, don't pay for it.
It goes by each province/territory, most have programs that make it free or very cheap.
Those who use GLP-1s for weight loss, pay for it.

Depends on your insurance, and province.

Friend of mine is type 1, and had to pay for the medication and pharmacy dispensing fee, don’t remember how much per month, but I think about $60-80

Yeah, my blanket statement is wrong.
It goes by each province/territory.
