    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.

        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.
