i'll put it to you this way. if you don't have a canada health card you're fucked. i have a canada healthcard now, but prior to that i went to the hospital for a really bad cold, not sure what i had but it was bad enough to warrant seeing someone about it. told reception at ER i didn't have a healthcard yet because my immigration shit was pending. they would not let me see a doctor or trial nurse unless i paid them $420cad on the spot, cash or credit. i coughed right up outta there and suffered. the system is not so bad once you actually have a health card like 100% of the population there. but for foreigners there is no "send bill later" option, at least in thunder bay ontario
