As Canadians, we don’t really think about how much a trip to the hospital for medical treatment costs, because our provincial or territorial government health care plans take care of it. The truth of the matter is, that health care services at hospitals and clinics in Canada are costly, and emergency health care services are even more so. For people not covered by a provincial or territorial health care plan, the cost can be financially devastating. 

Many people entering Canada on vacation, visiting family or friends or on temporary Canadian work visas do not have government health care coverage once they leave their country of residence. This leaves them, or the family or friends they are visiting, financially responsible when faced with an emergency medical situation.
