That said, myself and those in my care have spent a lot of time in hospital over the last few years and we haven’t paid a cent for any of that. My partner gave birth to Twins, it was a “complex pregnancy”, all fit and well in the end but we spent 3 months in another city to be near a specialist hospital. Govt paid for a nice apartment for us for the whole time, absolutely gold standard care from the miracle workers at that hospital, just amazing honestly.

That sounds absolutely incredible, absolutely fight with every breath you have to keep that. The right-wing is coming for it, and I'm worried too many of us are complacent and refuse to stand up to it. Good luck, and Love from Canada.
