    If I am in great pain or have been injured I just head to the emergency room. My only concern is how long I will have to wait to be seen which is based on urgency of the symptoms.

    If you have a less severe or chronic problem it can take a few months to see various specialists or get non critical surgery. However again time is the only concern.

    The only financial concerns come from over the counter medication for which there are programs for low income and extended coverage that is commonly covered by employers. Also most of these medications are cheaper in Canada vs the US as the provinces negotiate the costs. For an example an epi pen purchased without coverage of any kind is 6x cheaper in Canada than the US.

    It is slow at times but I never have a financial concern during an emergency or that I need to go to a specific in network hospital like in the US.


  • Odd I have tested them in stores before and they are typically well rated.

    However I was using Bose QC II for a few years and now I use the apple air pod pros.

    For in ear seal is really important for nose canceling and apple also provides a test mode / app on apple devices to test that sound isn’t leaking substantially.

    Makes no difference in a quiet environment but will easily cancel out a loud air conditioner or most traffic noise from passing cars.
