Hi Cherie,

You are right in stating that private extended health care insurance in Canada has a maximum life time benefit amount. This is usually determined by the level of policy that you have based on the premium you pay. But a decent plan that would cover medical and dental expenses would cost a lot more than $ 20.00 a month. I, under single coverage, pay $ 150.00 a month. A family would obviously pay more.

I'll make a few phone calls on Monday and find out about Tysabri coverage in Ontario. With health care costs skyrocketing, the government here is quite slow to approve expensive drugs like Tysabri. They always look at cost vs benefit. I'll get back to the forum when I get an answer.
