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.
In 1974 I was a hospital patient trying to recover from Back problems. A fellow patient in our ward was an American with with as yet no diagnoses, he said. With no medical insurance, he stayed at least a few days when the charge was to be about 700 dollars per day.
We had a family member flown from our town, only a short distance, maybe fifty miles, no charge except for the two ground ambulance charges.
