Just a hopefully simple question.
My mother and father retired to Canada, Vancouver Island to be exact. Recently my mom had a stroke and spent a bit over a week in the hospital. Luckily only her speech was afflicted and she's now going to speech therapy once a week. My father has suffered 2 heart attacks, both ending in prolonged hospital stays, angioplasty, a stint, and a boatload of meds. Total cost to them: zippo. HOWEVER, Canadian taxes are something you can easily choke on but I guess they make up for it with these little excursions to the hospital.
My question is I've always had private insurance through the union, both growing up and now, so if I lost my coverage who would I turn to and what would it cost me (besides or after Cobra... and who names a health care program after a snake anyways?) do I get medicare or medicaid at no cost to me?
