This story focuses on the high cost of some cancer medications and the financial burden that puts on those who do not have private health care insurance. While the province does cover some expensive medications for those in need, others that have shown some success when used in conjunction with chemo therapy are not covered.

Some patients face the possibility of death because they fall through the gaps in Ontario's safety net. In this story we meet a patient in this situation and hear his poignant reflections on the safety-net that failed to catch him, while his doctor denounces a lack of transparency and accountability in the system.
