Had to look up what ambulances cost where I live in Ontario, Canada. Looks like it's $45 if the trip is deemed to have been medically necessary by hospital physicians and you have a valid health card. Otherwise it's $240. There are certain exemptions for the $45 as well. Like when my daughter had to be transferred to a different hospital, I don't remember being charged for that ambulance ride?

    OK, American here. But what is the cost of you get hit by a car in a county different than the one you reside in?

    I think in that scenario you would be covered? I seem to recall emergency hospital visits are covered for Ontario residents travelling abroad and also students in temporary residence.

    That said, coverage for more mundane problems is generally lacking, and Canadians who travel a lot will typically have some supplemental coverage to fill the gaps. I'm in a group plan at work, for example. I think I pay around $70/mo?
