My mom fell very ill a few years ago and eventually had to be rushed to the hospital. She's in her late 70's, and she ended up having to stay in hospital for over 2 months and had numerous tests, treatments and procedures done. She received as good a level of care as she would get anywhere in the world.
When she was finally deemed fit enough to go home and continue her recovery there, they wheeled her down to my dad's car and wished her well. No bill was handed to her. Had that stay happened in the US it could very well have cost our family over $100k.
No, I think the people of Canada are not going to give up our health care system just yet. Those in Quebec may think this is a good idea, or it may just be one more ploy by the separatists to differentiate themselves from the rest of Canada, I don't know..... but I can't see it flying everywhere else.
