Ontario Health Card

 
Check Your Government Documents
      

   I suppose it is a good idea to offer some useful information, as opposed to much of what I usually provide, so here goes. Recently someone I know posted on social media a note about her health card. She had forgotten to renew it and had not been reminded to do so. It had expired so she had to pay out-of-pocket for the appointment she attended. I recently noticed the sign above in a Dr.'s waiting room.
  A few years ago, the provincial government stopped sending out reminders, indicating that millions would be saved by the elimination of postage and mailing costs and that the piles of paper required would be reduced. 
  Have a look at your health card and while your wallet is open, check your license. If you are thinking about heading south to get warm, you should also look at your passport before you arrive at the terminal.
