Coupled with McMac service given $$ down.
But such a McMac private service should be entirely private, and not part of any single-payer government regulated (with auditors required to submit reports to the public) health care plan. For obvious reasons.
Canadian news is lightly peppered with stories of Canadians requiring health care services only available elsewhere (not only in the US). I don't think Canada has a totally definite one-size-fits-all definition of what to do in every such case. I don't see how such a definition could be formulated.
Likewise I don't see how to formulate a definition of how to treat foreign nationals, without insurance, who suddenly rack up $1,000,000+ of costs. I do believe Canada has accepted cases where, after several $millions$ of costs, a patient cannot return to their home country because they aren't insured, and would die.
