Healthcare is provincially regulated here, but coverage in other countries is usually only at the rate that they would cover up here. Because of the huge discrepancies in pricing, most provinces recommend you buy travel insurance when going anywhere else.

In Ontario for example:

"Doctor services

OHIP will pay whichever of the following is less:

  • the actual amount billed by doctor(s) who treated you outside Canada
  • rates listed in and paid to Ontario physicians in the Ontario Schedule of Benefits for Physicians Services

Emergency outpatient services

OHIP will pay whichever of the following is less:

  • up to $50 (Canadian) per day
  • the amount billed by the hospital

Emergency inpatient services

OHIP will pay up to:

$400 (Canadian) per day for services provided in:

  • an operating room
  • a coronary care unit
  • an intensive care unit
  • a neonatal or pediatric special care unit

$200 (Canadian) per day for lower levels of care"

check relevant state and local laws

Nice of them to include this. It varies so widely by state. If you’re in San Francisco, you’re going to be just fine. If you’re out in the sticks in Texas, you might find yourself watching your back.

As a Floridian homie: good. There’s so much to experience in the world. I put the US in the “overhyped tier”
