Vankiwi - i guess I'm curious about how national healthcare works. I'm used to working w insurance companies and just how they do it here in states so I'm curious about the differences. My DH was born and raised in Canada so he thinks the insurance here in the states is confusing and time consuming like when you have to figure out if the lab your doctor sends your bloodwork to is covered or not. Fortunately we will have private health care during that three month period. Something specific for people moving to Canada and some work health care during the wait. Except the first two weeks. But I think I need to look into booking an appointment w a doc before we move so I have stuff set up. I'm kind of nervous about figuring out how to navigate everything. Maybe it won't be so different. But I don't know the city well either so it's going to be hard for a while but eventually I'll adjust.
