You are right on that. People here should say that there is no " direct on the spot" cost.
The system is paid for by a premium taken from your salary and the equivalent or more from the employer. Most provinces are running a deficit and pluging it by reattributing other budgeted money to it.
But if you are rich or poor, you will be treated and in the same way. This is neat. A heart attack can cost in the US up to 100 000.00 . Here it is all paid by the system.
Remember, no system is perfect.
