someone in my family has been in the hospital almost 4 weeks, luckily we are in canada on that part, however he has no drug plan so I don't know how he is going to manage the medications after which are probably going to be sky high
people have this misconception that health care in Canada is free, its not, we pay a shitload of taxes in this country and if you make a certain amount of income over I beleive $75,000 or $100,000 plus they add a health care levy that is in the several 1000's
Good part is yes, if you are hospitalized you are covered but the wait times for operations runs into months and years in some cases which is why those that can afford it go to other countries like the US etc and pay for it upfront
