Oh, Canada.....

I picked up my daughter from day care Wednesday and was told she had a fever and could not come back to day care until she has been fever free for 24 hours. The wife had suspected the day before that she had an ear infection, she has been getting them quite often since she was born. Well my hats off to Pediatric Care of York. Their office hours are til 8:30pm, but my wife was able to get an appointment that night at 9:15pm. I went in at 9:10pm and was not the only one there. I thanked the Dr. for staying late, he said they have had the office open til 1am before so they could see all their patients. What a nice place. Anyway, so he gave me two prescriptions, one for Augmentum(Amoxicilin mixed with Clavacin) and one for Flaxocin. So I go to the new Walgreen which has a 24 hour pharmacy, well it will soon currently it is only open til 2am. I drop off the prescriptions and take my daughter home. After I drop her off I head back to Walgreens for the drugs. The pharmacist informs me that my insurance does not cover either drug, WTF, and the total will be $90.98.....W..W..W..WHAT! Why do I even have insurance? It's not like these drugs are frivilous. These drugs are needed to keep my daughter from going deaf. Why would the insurance not cover them? In my opinion the reason for the rise in health care cost is because of these insurance companies. I am moving to Canada!
