If any of you are planning to visit Canada, get insurance. If you need emergency medical care you will not be turned away from a hospital. But you will be expected to produce insurance or your credit card. Canadians, just like you guys, pay for health care through taxes. The services are free for us; but for foreign nationals, it's fee for service. If I choose to visit the UK, I will purchase insurance just in case I should require medical attention in the UK. I don't think that it is fair that I should get a free ride paid for by the British taxpayer. And I don't think it is fair that any other foreign national should.
