Medical insurance in Canada?
What have you done for medical insurance while traveling in Canada? I am retired military and have Tricare and closing in on Medicare. From what I understand neither are accepted in Canada.

Just to re-assure our American friends.
No one in any type of medical emergency care situation, in Canada, will EVER demand payment, before you are treated.
Rest assured that your CARE comes first here in Canada, the bills can be dealt with, later.
If you are unable to speak, or unconscious , you are going to be triaged, and treatment started, right away.
Now a word from my past experience as a Ambulance Officer, here in Toronto. If you have a Medic Alert bracelet, WEAR IT, don't keep it in your pocket, wallet or purse, or around your ankle, under your winter boot. That happens, trust me, I have seen it.
