"treated for anything" is very general.
It's not all that it may seem. People with life-critical
surgeries or cancer treaments may have to wait a long time (up
to 30 wks recently) before anything happens. Until then, if
they think all you have to endure is pain, they just prescribe
pain-killers.
There is a long waiting list for organs.

Depends on the province, I think. $55 in Ontario, but ONLY if
you have a health card number. Otherwise the trip is around
$250.
