The number of Canadians who visit emergency departments across the country only to give up and leave before they receive any care has increased more than fivefold, according to new data collected by CTV News.

        The conservatives in Canada are switching people to a biosimilar insulin to save money. They save $2 per pen. The kicker? A vast majority of people are noticing that the biosimilar doesn’t work as good, and they need 2-3x more units to get the same effect.

        Now I’m no mathematician, but there goes your $2 savings when someone is using 2-3x more pens than they were.

      Maybe it actually will over time as that will likely be new doctors, nurses, paramedics, techs etc.

      How else are you going to leave the ER if not by a medical doctor from India providing Uber service?
