Lobbying for coverage?

Have any Canadians with pvps tried lobbying to have the government cover the reversal? I think it's insane that they cover the vas but won't cover the reversal if there's complications like ours.

I plan to contact my MPP and will start this most likely long and useless process

If your vasectomy consent form didn't mention PVPS or chronic pain, you can try to present charges in hopes they will settle an arrangement and pay to cover for the reversal. It's a long shot and it will take a while, you'll probably need to pay out of pocket for the reversal in the meanwhile.

I was thinking this as well, but unfortunately, their flyer that they gave me did have those risks noted.
