You know...that just makes me want to cry.

There are so many problems with our health care system, but articles like this remind us there are so many things right.
Having lived with children without OHIP and with then with it, it makes a world of difference to peace of mind. Even on a daily basis.

it happened 14 years ago.

is there updated information on whether these policies are even still in effect?

all the references in those articles are from 14 years ago, not any time more recently.

easy way to adjust that clause - make sure the insured that has suffered domestic violence uses the 10 mental health visits. if they opt not to get the counseling, THEN they waive the right to be covered for further domestic violence related medical issues

This is what happens when you let for-profit corporations handle health coverage.

Imagine if the people making these decisions were rewarded for making people healthier instead of generating more profit. Might work out a little differently, hmm?
