Yes, we have socialized medicine here in Canada (and are grateful for it!) But if you or someone you love needs to travel somewhere for treatment, or medical supplies that aren't covered (like osotomy bags), or drugs that might cost $2,400 in one visit to the pharmacy or $0 in the next...you might be surprised at the financial and emotional toll it can take on you.
Timestamps:
4:18 - Getting “comfortable" with uncertainty
6:08 - Bedside manner matters - in medicine and in finance (and not just for the practitioners)
13:48 - The unexpected cost of healthcare: A very … vivid picture of the function and cost of the ostomy bag
22:13 - Should you get extended health coverage?
