Same as m0rpheus, the employer contributes to my OHIP premium, and I have some additional benefits that I contribute to through work (family dental, prescription coverage, AD&D insurance etc).

So far this past year, my family has had to hit up the medical system for one round of breast cancer and resulting radiation therapy (wife) one operation on an arm to remove a bone growth (son), 5 regimes of twinrix shots (all) 5 physical checkups (all) one colonoscopy (myself) and I am scheduled for an xray of a bunion on my foot this week.

I can't imagine doing all this without medical insurance, and am damn glad that OHIP has taken care of every last cent of it, except for the cost of the prescriptions (which is 90% covered through my work plan)


*Edit:

Just returned from an Xray on my foot. Arrived at the waiting room at half past the hour, armed with some work to do while waiting. Spent sevaral minutes searching my wallet for my health card, as without it you don't get any service. I never use it at the Dr's office as my name is on file there. Having found it (stuck to the back of my zoo membership) I sat down to wait. No more than 40 seconds passed, before I was called. I had my xray and was out of the office by 41 mins past the hour. No money changed hands. That's what I'm talkin' about!
