Go to the government site and check.

Or GOOGLE IT.

But then again ... our government is not stupid.

Have you ever gotten prescription drugs before? It's never covered by OHIP.

You may want to try and ask Wynne to give you some much wanted love for your parents ... but it ain't gonna happen.

If they die in the ambulance its supposed to be free but double check with the morgue.

How can they be over 65 and no income? They should be eligible for OAS and GIS. And probably some CPP if they've ever worked a day in their lives for a Canadian employer. Get them on it pronto.

And if they live in poverty they can get like $1400-$1500 EACH. The GIS really bumps the monthly amount if you're not working.

It doesn't seem to be free in BC because my grandma got an ambulence bill and my friend's mom got an ambulence bill.
