I have just been DXed and had my first Rheumy visit. I will be starting Enbrel in February (my January schedule is booked for work). There is a strong possibility that I may move to Toronto, ON for a promotion some time next year. What are the implications regarding TNFs?

Can I keep my same insurance (BCBS of Texas)?

Do I move to other insurance (will anyone take me now that I have AS)?

Does Canada truly have socialized medicine (i.e. no insurance needed)?

What would the cost of continuing my treatment in Canada be (right now my coverage is great and I will only pay $114.00 per month)?

Any information you can provide would be great.

Thanks so much!
