I grew up in Toronto and this is totally believable. "They" cover certain things like equipment (and even then, not necessarily fully) and of course doctor's visits (not drugs unless they are received in hospital). But there are LOTS of holes in the system.
Hold on a minute. This woman says she had a child with developmental disabilities and it drove her into poverty: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/mar/12/poor-broke-difference-poverty-inequality-society … BUT SHE LIVES IN CANADA. I call bullshit. I lived in CA and they totally cover this so she must have been doing something weird.

The Ontario Disability Support Program, in particular, has been regarded as woefully inadequate by poverty advocacy groups for as long as I can remember. And austerity-happy Conservatives were just elected, so it isn't getting better any time soon.https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/11/22/1655811/0/en/ISAC-responds-to-Minister-MacLeod-s-announcement-about-social-assistance-reform-Many-questions-few-answers-and-great-risk-for-people-with-disabilities.html …

Yes and no. They cover healthcare, but not the time/cost of taking your kid to the hospital every day. I think she’s missing on some things she could be covered for, plus she still owns her house, so she didn’t lose it all. At that point she’d get welfare. shit luck is what it is
