Why am I even...

[A]

Kelly, that's awful, that the government covers the surgery but not the recovery and transportation... It's like if you had a heart attack and they would save you for free, but then charge you for every day you stay at the hospital... >.<"

But airfare? You need to take a plane? Are you, like, in British Columbia? :x

And uhm, you could try giving the health services a call/email. Doing so I discovered that the Québec government can cover laser and electro, given that it's a doctor who performs it, and is willing to do paperwork to assess that I suffer significant psychological issues because of the hair. Whether I ever find a doctor who does that is a whole other world, but it's a pretty good fact that I learned, that maybe, just maybe, there's a chance that I'll be able to get my face cleared with my current income.

All that to say that... Who knows, if you ask them, you might learn something good, too.

And muuu, all I can really reply to that is that when you think no one can change your mind, you have a big neon flashy hint that you're most probably wrong.

 Yes, I'm in BC. It's a lovely place.

My prescribing doctor is very knowledgeable about coverage for various things, so I will ask her when I see her in a couple weeks about hair coverage. She has told me about coverage for breast implants, too, and I'm on the waiting list for that... but the standards are rather high. She suspects that, even with what I have, I may have too much to be eligible for coverage. I continue to hope, however.

The waiting list for that was something like three years long when I last checked. Hopefully it's more like one or one and a half by now.

If I remember correctly, to be eligible for BA coverage, one must be smaller than 150cc. For anyone who might find that information useful.
