Hi Natasha shucky darn if this ain't the best news I've heard for a while. I can't hardly believe it, I worked with those girls in Toronto to get this coverage back into OHIP They took it out during premier Harris's  time in office, I guess that was about ten years ago now. "Wow!" how neat can that be, those girls didn't fight all this time for nothing.

Thanks for this little article Natasha sweets
