Any other Canucks answer this? Do we get the strips for free or would this be a drug plan?

Hi Phranky, well as far as your drugs or strips, etc., either the
Company you work for pays for it all(as my Hubbie's does) or they
take a bit off your check every month usually(it should show on your
paystub).
Senior Citizens get a cheque of course and I think they pay $2.00
for each prescription also people who are on disability and Welfare/
Ontario works. If people are on EI they get a portion of what their
last jobs pay was and I think drug coverage(not sure on that). None
of these Folks pay taxes.
This is a portion of what your taxes are paying for:

Each Province and Territory has it's own Health Insurance Plan.
