Do you folks need to show an ID to get health care up in Canada?

Each province has a 'health card'. They do ask for it, however you are never denied medical care if you can't produce one, costs are dealt with later through special programs etc....I believe. I've never encountered anyone who has had to mortgage their house to pay for an operation.

Unfourtunately that also leads to, I think it's called, medical tourists. A lot of pregnant woman coming over, ready to give birth, and because the baby is then 'Canadian', everything is covered...or something like that. I think the feds are looking into curbing that problem.

No, our system is not perfect, and I will never claim it is.

Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?
