Unless things have changed, medicare is portable between Canadian provinces and territories - there is a three-month wait to get onto the program in the new community but it is covered by the program in the province of origin. Her father's OHIP coverage would have remained in force during the transition. That Canada's head doctor doesn't know that is concerning - how many other doctors are giving patients and families similar misinformation? I'm surprised that Andre didn't check the facts before printing that - although, given the source of the information, perhaps he can be excused.
It is pretty scary that someone with her position and resources felt she and her partner had to move half way across the country to have appropriate medical services provided
for a family member. If she's falling through the cracks, what hope is there for the rest of us?!?
