Universal healthcare doesn’t pay for everything. My friend in Canada has a boy with a rare disease and the out of pocket costs are significant.



Hey don't downvote this person! Pharmaceuticals, dental, vision are all things Canadians still have to pay for. It's a real shame.


I've never understood why dental care isn't included when you otherwise have universal healthcare. Why single out dental problems? It's about as impossible to just ignore having an infected tooth that needs to be pulled out as it is not doing anything about a broken arm.
