there is no national picture. asking what canada does is asking thirteen questions at the same time
is provincial coverage as much of a patchwork as it looks from outside
diabetes covered, weight not

does private insurance cover it in canada or only some plans
did anyone get stopped at the border bringing it back
wouldnt use a thawed solution

a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that
do canadian pharmacies stock it reliably
cheaper than the us
canadian pharmacies stocked it reliably in the periods members reported on, better than the uk did at the same time
