OHIP-Hip-Hooray!

Happy Tuesday! It's kinda spitting snow flurries right now. The weather can't make up its mind what it wants to do. Yesterday, Devoted Husband and I rode the rails around the city and took care of some errands. We had to go to the OHIP office. OHIP stands for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan and is the legendary Canadian Health Care System. We have a three month waiting period before we can actually get covered, but soon we will each get a card (much like a driver's license) that will cover all our medically necessary services. We will have to see how it works out once we actually try it. Once again, we had a very easy time with the governmental offices. I haven't had any problems with the many different offices that I've had to deal with. The people are all friendly and helpful and I don't have to wait for extended periods of time. They are always a pleasure. Thank you Federal, Provincial and City workers of Ontario - you always do a fabulous job! A CANADIAN FACT! Canada is the only foreign country permitted to have an embassy on Pennsylvania Ave.
