Canada has great health care, unless you need it for something not life threatening. Queues for hernia repair 1-2 years. Queues for hip replacement over 2 years. Apparently ER wait times are up to 16 hours and people have died waiting.

Its not free though. We pay through taxes. My dad waited 7 hours a few weeks ago in emerg. My city around 80k people only one hospital.

This isn't the case for most and is for you and your experiences. I have spent 3 weeks in the ICU and 6 weeks in total in the hospital. Once I got out of the ICU, I had a private room. Bill was about 140k baht. Lots of MRi's and surgeries. Have had other multiple week stays because of other accidents when I was young and dumber. THe bills were all under 100k.

Ask yourself, do you want to stay at a place that cost 30k a night for room and other essentials or are you cool with a bland private room at a public hospital. If it is the latter, the bills will be not even comparable and near impossible to hit 3 million.

I have 4 million of coverage because it is inexpensive with a high deductible that is not a concern (150K).

My hospital bills cost feck all, at a private hospital.
