Also, I know that risk management policies and all products are not created equal! Thanks in advance for any input.
The situation in Canada seems pretty discouraging to a guy like me. Most life insurance policies available in Canada require you to be drug-free for two full years (insurance companies are allowed to require this because that is the benchmark for becoming medically eligible to enlist in the Canadian Forces). This provides a real incentive for trying to go off your medications and stay off
them--even when such action is against medical advice.
Thanks for this!
