Kind of local news: Insurance company rejects 9 year old for coverage due to "build" -- (link) - Beaker Aug 9, 06:28 20
- Private health insurance in Canada? I thought it was all public up there. -- nm - GregW Aug 9, 06:52 19
  - if i go to the doctor for an appointment, tests, hospital, all that is covered, we just show our card, but, eyes, dentist, prescription drugs is not. - Andie Aug 9, 06:58 10
    - Is the dental insurance any good there? Here you are lucky to get max $1000 to $1500 a year coverage. -- nm - GregW Aug 9, 07:04 7
      - Totally depends on the plan. I just checked mine: Inside is a C&P of my basic work health coverage: (Dental is at bottom) - Andie Aug 9, 07:09 4
        
        So you can get some good coverage though it's likely pricey at level IV or V. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 07:13 3
        
        No, the levels refer to treatment levels, not coverage levels. Like i said, that costs me $11 per pay period for both me and Dave. -- nm - Andie Aug 9, 07:16 2
        
        Damn! That's awesome! Do you guys need an educated but underemployed guy to walk Canadian dogs? ;-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 07:24 1

      - Depending on the plan, the worst I've ever had is 80% coverage. -- nm - Shaun Aug 9, 07:08
      - depends on the plan, but I don't think I have a max/year coverage amount. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 07:08
    - I've been lied to! -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 06:59 1
      - we've been telling you guys this for years! -- (edited) - Andie Aug 9, 07:00
  - Basic stuff is free, but we can still have extra insurance to help with eye/dental/Rx/etc. -- nm - Shaun Aug 9, 06:56 1
    - Eye exams used to be covered by the government in Ontario but delisted them 20 years ago -- nm - zork Aug 9, 07:04
  - prescription drugs, ambulances, medical equipment, dental, physio, optical, etc. etc. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 06:56 5
    - That the dentist isn't covered by medical insurance makes me so angry but it's nice to see we're not the only place - Krusty Aug 9, 07:01 3
      - Totally agree -- nm - zork Aug 9, 07:05
      - we do have dental plans for low income people though. But, I don't know much about it. -- (link) - Andie Aug 9, 07:03 1
        
        We do as well but I don't think they cover all that much, mostly check ups, xrays and minor work. That we don't provide good coverage is a big mistake -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 07:07
    - Plus upgrades to private rooms when in hospital -- nm - zork Aug 9, 07:00

  - "Discovered" 2 planets and a moon in my home system. Saw a 3rd planet that I didn't land on before warping to a new system. - Ender Aug 9, 06:36 5
    - So obviously what you need to get off your planet is handed to you from the start. How likely does it seem you would not have the resources needed to - oblique Aug 9, 06:39 1
      - I don't know that "handed to you" is quite right... You still need to go out and explore to get the actual resources. - Ender Aug 9, 06:48
    - are planets or your home planet marked on your map so you can return easily? -- nm - Beaker Aug 9, 06:37 2
      - I'm not sure, I quit soon after my first warp so I haven't looked back at the map yet. -- nm - Ender Aug 9, 06:38 1
        
        (I'm pretty sure I could get back to my home system though if I had the warp fuel for it.) -- nm - Ender Aug 9, 06:39
- I figure I'll spend at least 2 hours checking out my home planet. My copy is out for delivery! -- nm - Shaun Aug 9, 06:17 2
  - delayed! -- nm - Beaker Aug 9, 06:20 1

        it was buggy. I had it happen often where the screen would go black when oriented properly and only be visible when laying flat - oblique Aug 9, 06:00 1
        
        It seems to freeze the game for me if I walk with it at my side and I am also seeing the screen dim when I'm looking at it. - Krusty Aug 9, 06:06
