In BC there is an ambulance charge - I'm not sure what it is, but I think I've heard in the region of $150 - $200. Nothing else pertaining to a hospital stay is charged for, but there are charges for odd other things like specialty colours of cast material (you can get the plain old white one for free), braces and crutches, outpatient physiotherapy, etc.
what about in patient physio?
Inpatient physio is covered and it depends on whether you have any/what kind of extended health you may have for how much you pay for out patient physio.
Anything you lose from being honest You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

Inpatient physio has no direct cost to the patient. I'm struggling with how to phrase this, because of course it isn't "free"; it's paid for by taxes and all health care consumers need to be mindful of that to minimize misuse of resources. But yes, no-one is billed for it directly.

I don't think you pay for in-patient physio. Just out-patient (even 75% or so of that is usually covered by extended medical, which any good employer provides).
I have never ever received a bill from a hospital or clinic, and no, radiology is never an extra cost if you're not talking about completely elective procedures (not sure there is any such thing when you're talking radiology tests, x-rays, etc).
Basic Healthcare covers everything you REALLY need besides prescriptions (which you also get a large amount of coverage for with extended healthcare coverage), not counting put-patient physio or thearaputic massage (perhaps there are exceptions to this too). Unless you're talking fancy casts and private rooms and shit it would be bizarre to have to pay a bill on your way out of a hospital or clinic for a non-elective/necessary stay or procedure or test. Ever watched Sicko? That movie gives you a bit of an idea.
No idea how Americans tolerate their Healthcare system. It's basically a criminal enterprise.

Ugh I'm moving to Canada. Except I'm not cuz it's too cold & snow is a problem.
But yea I get that it's not exactly free. But you don't have to pay quarterly premiums to insurance A and monthly premiums to insurance B only to get kicked out on your ass cuz they've decided you don't need to be treated for more than 100 days even though the doc said you need 6 months right?
I'm sorry. I'm just aggravated as fuck and frankly I shouldn't be discussing this on the internet. But I am seriously considering getting myself settled somewhere a little less awful in a couple decades so I don't have to put myself through this b.s.
Wouldn't using a kick in the nuts smiley get someone banned????
Also I don't know Empty so I can't comment although starting a thread asking to go to a party does carry a certain wiff of desperation that is questionable...

Hedonist is quite intelligent, and that sometimes comes off as contrite, or irksome.. But I say peacekeeper all the way!
I'm so confused on this - nice but then...the hell?
Never been my intent to get under anyone's skin..and contrite? I'm typically not remorseful unless warranted.
But...thank you?
Sure, fuck it. Thank you!
(and, Empty, as to your conflict question...
...can I even say "dumb" anymore here? )
You're alright, man. A good sport.
The overall message is that sometimes intelligent, witty and sometimes sarcastic people can come off very differently when seen written on a page, but you are a good person who is more of a peacekeeper than a shit disturber.

Add to that the qualities of being up front and honest which sometimes can include a little shit stirring AND peacekeeping both and all put out there forthrightly (aka, "no bullshit"). :-)

As far as American healthcare, its just like any other business that want to make money....

Is Hedonist always looking for conflict or a peacekeeper?
That thread gave me a laugh.

P.S. I imagine it's most people's first day back to work after rocking the last of the tour which means way too busy.
