[QUOTE="SRL, post: 367043, member: 701"] This happened to a friend of mine while she was on home health care. She needed syringes filled with saline to clear a picc line. Syringes are cheap and a bag of saline is cheap. Cost for the filled syringes (which they did there at the pharmacy) was exhorbitant, and were passed on to her through her copay. She asked if she could fill them at home (maybe about 30 minutes of her time), but they couldn't do that due to the contractual agreement. Ridiculous! Mamaof5 I agree that it's heartbreaking but I just read an article that said Canada's system is headed for serious financial trouble, with Ontario saying healthcare costs would be 70% of its budget if it continues in the current state.
