As a Canadian diabetic, I’m glad we’re not the states but boy could we still improve


Edit: to put into context how much diabetes costs I’ll lay it out

1 blood test strip costs roughly $1, they come in a vial of 50, and those vials come in boxes with two, I often get 2 or 3 at once and that would cover about 2-3 months giving you’re testing strictly 4 times a day

On top of that we have the site for where my insulin pump delivers the insulin, bout $200 for the box, I get 2 boxes at once usually, 

1 vial of insulin is roughly $40 (compared to $100+ in states iirc) plus lancets, plus IV prep, plus your reservoir plus gulacagon

Diabetes is so expensive

Edit 2: found a calculator for my province, I spend roughly $9k a year on diabetes supplies

Yes we could but leaders like Kenney, Ford Danielle Smith and PP strapped the system of cash and have convinced enough Canadians that the only way to fix it would be better for each person to pay for more services directly for twice as much as it would cost if it were collected as increased taxes.
