I am looking for a reliable insurance company to purchase medical for my parents. Has anyone purchased it in Ontario? Something which would cover drugs and physiotherapy.

It is free here, but it is fairly crap especially if you are really ill and need to have tests done ASAP.

not drugs and therapies
Only clinical and hospital expenses are free including tests etc

Try Graypower Insurance. My parents had it for all of us. We never had to use it except for dental and prescriptions.

^ Same here. What I like about GWL is that they give you bonus money depending on your lifestyle. So you get to use those extra funds to cover the other 20% (if you have 80% insurance coverage) ... but that is only until those funds run out. Mind you, that is our company insurance so I don't know if it is the same on an individual basis.

yeah..we also have a healthcare spending account..actually i chose to opt out of the plan (more $ in my pocket) and instead use my HSA. the good thing about that HSA, that if i dont end up using the whole amount in one year, they add it to the next year, but only upto 2 years do they add on.
