I just looked on a few sites and it appears that reproductive drugs are only partially covered in a few of the providences and IVF not at all.

Try googleing "reproductive health Canada"

Interestingly enough I see, every day, many women who come across our border that choose to deliver their babies in one of the finest birthing centers in the nation and we give them the same care as if they could pay....of coarse they can't nor do they intend to.
Myth. The vast majority of Canadians do not choose American hospitals to have their children in.

I got a story on this. My aunt Marta had a baby at NYU Medical Center....in a closet because they couldn't find her a bed! She said that in the middle of labor custodians were going in and out to get cleaning supplies. LOL

Our family has a cottage in Outlet Ontario we vacation at every year. I can honestly say that I have become very embarrassed over the American health care system.

So they come from Mexico? If so...of course! Going to a hospital in the Phillipines would be better than going to a Hospital in Mexico.

But the point is...Canadians could give us some lessons when it comes to Health Care.

Re: Canadian and American Healthcare ?

So far none of our Canadian brethren have been convinced that they should adopt an American-like health care system? LOL

I have a question. In America the idea of a national health insurance program bitterly divides conservatives and liberals in the US. In Canada are Canadian conservatives opposed to your system or have you largely reached a consensus that it is necessary?

I think we've all agreed it's necessary.... and I hope our people would be smart enough not to elect a leader or a party that felt that the healthcare should be for the rich and insured only.

Healthcare is often an issue in our elections but it's not a matter of should we adopt the US healthcare system.. for the most part. IT's about putting more money toward it.

Cool. Can you tell me about malpractice laws in Canada? Do your doctors enjoy more freedom from the risk of malpractice lawsuits?
