A man from the Philippines living in Montreal may be billed more than $1,000,000 for emergency spinal surgery because he does not have coverage under Quebec’s provincial health plan.
Quebec’s health plan generally covers residents for such procedures, but the man is not enrolled, leaving him responsible for private costs.
