No, the OP was talking about using employer-provided supplemental health benefit to cover a bike fitting. These supplemental health benefit in Canada is not paid for by taxpayers, and the employers typically purchased it through life insurance companies. Their main use is for the services for the health of their employees and covers things that's normally outside of medical care. And a bike fitting may be a fine justifications because it may help the cyclist avoiding injuries. The key here is that a doctor has to prescribe this service.
