Canadians don't have prescription drug coverage, IIRC? And many, many Canadians have supplemental insurance policies so they can escape the government system, I believe? This is true across the EU as well.
Have a great day.

Most companies provide supplementary health coverage for their workers so almost 90% of the drug costs are covered. Here in Ontario if you're under 25 then your prescription is free also (new law). The supplementary health coverage is jus that a supplement not an escape from the healthcare system lol. I don't know much about your healthcare system in the US and thanks for educating me about government paying for 2/3 of the cost, I did not know that. Now your turn to learn a bit about canadas system.

Yes - the Canadian system isn't that very different than the US, other than it's more expensive, and with longer wait times. Canadians also can't reasonably sue their providers, hospitals, drug makers, etc., and they enjoy the benefit of US drug and medical device advancements.
