This... why the fuck are you traveling when you're so far along, I don't give a dickens what the doctor said.

I'm sorry where did you go to medical school again?

Victim will be the people she owes money to if she does not pay.

This is so cartoonishly evil sounding that I can't help but think you're not being genuine.

No dude. This is what Drwelfare does for a living.

He breaks people's legs if they don't pay up.

And then charges them 500k for the casts.


Wait I think I have a business model here.

No point, it's like getting blood from a turnip.

So I thunk the moral of the story is that Canadian insurance is horrible.

[Piglord]

Goddamn illegals and their anchor babies.

Yes. Which is why no one with brains and ethics wants them to control anything like they do down there.

What is this bullshit?

[Aeluron Lightsong]

What is this bullshit?

It is victim blaming. That's what kind of Bullshit it is.

Running a hospital is probably better than running a casino. You can only take all the money a person has in a casino. And the person is fully aware of how much they've lost. Hospitals don't have such silly restrictions.

This is why if you're travelling with any possibility for medical problems (such as being preggo), you pay for travel insurance.

edit: though not sure it would have helped specifically here.

Yeah. They had insurance but they refused to pay out when it was due. :P

Supposedly over some bladder infection, which wasn't disclosed or wasn't considered stable within the specified timeframe required by the insurer, not specifically the pregnancy.

It all just sounds like the insurance company trying to avoid forking over 1 mil. I can kind of understand.

Oh for sure it is, private insurers are no better in Canada than anywhere else really in that regard. It's still just a business.

This is still also an issue with extraordinary costs of care abroad. Provincial health plans will pay for your expenses, but only up to an amount equal to what those same services would cost at home. Which are typically a fraction of what is charged by a US hospital...

People actually have to pay to give birth? This is a thing?

[vindicatorx]

But seriously, that's crazy. What happens if you just simply go back to Canada and not pay a dime?

Canada has a pretty lax extradition treaty with the US so I would guess they would get shipped back to the US.

I'm not sure that's true given the ridiculousness here.

They don't extradite people for unpaid bills. Its not a criminal matter.
