Canada is not the only country with a healthcare system that doesn't entirely copy the US.
I wouldn't wish either you or your partner to be told to pound sand upon experiencing an health related issue. To know that something can be treated, but to be told GTFO. I wished to have a discussion about the matter, but you are obviously not ready for this to happen.
"where a family member was told"
That's second-hand. Accusing me of bad faith is a bit off-base.
