September 26th:
The Warning Signs of Stroke
A recent study by the Heart and Stroke Foundation found that less than 40% of Canadians can name one or more warning signs of stroke. The fact is, the longer you wait, the greater the damage. It's a lesson Susan Birkenshaw learned the hard way.
Health Insurance
Canadians assume all their expenses are covered by our publicly-funded healthcare system. But research shows we pay 30 per cent of our healthcare costs either directly or through our private health insurance. And many predict that this trend toward making the user pay, will only get worse. Should you be buying into or topping up your private health insurance? Maureen interviews Charlie Black, senior advisor with the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association, and Wendy Armstrong, a registered nurse and past president of the Alberta chapter of the the Consumers' Association of Canada.
