I don’t even know what goes on anymore. I’ve had good health insurance in the USA for years (I’m a trucker) but have not had health insurance in Canada for 7 years (because I’m a trucker of no fixed address and health care is provincial, i pay income taxes to an entity that issues my driver’s license but denies i live there when it comes to my health insurance) My american health insurance doesn’t give two shits where i live. My drivers license is to a post office box near my employer of 7 years. I’m literally homeless but consistently pay taxes and reside in one county in one province with a steady employer but i just won’t lie so i don;t have “canadian” health insurance, which is never been my “birthright as a Canadian” like muttonhead socialists talk about, it’s always been provincially determined while the federal government pretends it wasn’t something that happened despite their resistance, when provincials had balls and thought of themselves as their region, not canadians.
Right, but let’s say you don’t. Let’s say you’re only in Canada for a day and you get hit by a truck. What happens in terms of their medical system and what you have to pay?
as a tourist, with no health insurance, full billing but it’ll be actual at cost, not the inflated number used down south for the hospital company and insurance companies to argue over. Broken leg, say, probably set you back 5000 Canadian depending. Similar to the states at final billing.

Wait, so what happens if an American gets sick in Canada?
The smart ones make sure their insurance covers international travel, same as I did.

Interesting. Thanks.
What point are trying to make?
American health insurance is better than Canadian because you don’t have fixed residency?
no, try again. the point was more than clear.
What you meant might have been clear to you…
