    read the letter again, maybe they are just suggesting you get a new card.

    I believe the red and white ones don't expire, which means even though ON wants you to get a photo card, you might not actually have to get one.

    If it's not actually required I say keep your red and white card! The photo one is irritating, it expires, hold off as long as possible!

    It said it was my 2nd notice, and not doing so could result in a termination of my benefits!?

    I did not get a first notice, so it was a surprise.?

    Angry Those Bast.ards!

    I love my perfectly-good-condition red & white one!!!!

    Mind you, although the photo one does expire - DH went to renew his a few months ago and didn't have to pay anything....which would have pissed me right off if there was a cost too!

    I've had the photo one for over 10 years.  I think I'm on my third picture, it's so annoying having to go in for these.  At least now it doesn't have your address on it anymore so you don't have to update that.

    They will send you three notices. If you do not comply they will cancel your health care and it's a pain in the butt to get it back. YOu have to prove residency for the last 3 years blah blah blah. I work at that office in Toronto. I don't do health but i do D&V. I got that letter a few months before my wedding so I had to change my card because I received my letter and then I had to take another picture because I changed my name. Def pain in the rear.

    I had joked with DH that I didn't want to change my name because I didn't want to give up my red and white health card.  I guess maybe I should just suck it up and do it.

    I changed my name on everything but my health card (red and white) and my SIN card. They take both without any issue.
