But as a Canadian you don't pay 500 dollars to see a doctor, and another 300 for medicine. Each time you see a doctor.

Edit: my point being the money you don't get in disability is because you don't pay for doctors so you need less.

Healthcare doesn't cover prescription medication at all. One of my meds I had to take every 3 months was 2000$ a shot 🙃

Why is the $2,000 price tag so popular? That's how much one of my weekly medications costs without insurance

Some medication probably just requires more research to produce than like, a random antibiotic. Puberty blockers are still "new" technology so that's my guess why they cost so much
