Beware of free care hospitals

From up here in Canada.........laughing my ass off. Actually I feel pity for Americans who are one major illness away from bankruptcy. I have said many times that the reason why Canadians are so relaxed is......The assurance that we ( all of us ) are covered by our individual Provincial health care programs. Is it perfect ? No, but it sure is miles better than what most low income Americans have to suffer through. JimB. In Toronto.
 
A friend in Vancouver almost died as their health care system so screwed her up and then made her wait and wait for a year or more for a hernia operation. Every country seems to have its problems with health care.
 

I can only speak for my own experiences with the Ontario health plan (OHIP), which always came through for me and my husband. I've had colonoscopies, he has had a hip replacement.

Every province has their own health plan. My brother, who lives in B.C. (Vancouver) has no complaints.

That is awful what happened to her. Unfortunately, it happens a lot--to a lot of people around here anyway--here in the U.S. but in addition, people have the debt dumped on top of them too. So a choice between: 1) possible medical problems or 2) possible medical problems AND most likely being bankrupted? Clear choice to me.
