The parking is actually quite expensive, when my stepmom had cancer, I went a few time with a car and it was 16$ per day. That hospital made 60 millions in parking fees in 2015 as a reference...

That was the time I understood how lucky we are, when the final diagnostic fell, it was the first thing that came to my mind, what would have they done if it wasn't free... they would have to decide whether they try to give her a few more years and pay hundred thousands, or just watch her suffer a few more months. Sadly even with the amazing care she got, she died less than a year later, but at least they got that time and they never had to worry about the cost of it.

Canadian. So, about $2.50 US ;-)
