A man from the Philippines who lives in Montreal may be responsible for more than $1 million after undergoing emergency spinal surgery because he does not qualify for Quebec's provincial health insurance.
Quebec's health plan generally covers residents, but newcomers who have not yet become eligible can be billed directly for emergency care.
