Not entirely, PP, but there's a "no fixed address" problem that is definitely known to my beloved son that might also be a bit of a process problem for @Northwind. We're a bit fixated on addresses.

If you get seriously ill in Canada, are you expected to head for your home province -or get bombarded with forms, etc? (I mean I love your trains - but enough is enough!

Healthcare is covered provincially. So some provinces pay for some things while others do not. I.e. in NS you don’t get a wheelchair paid for while in other provinces you might. If it isn’t covered, you have to pay for it yourself or have private insurance. If I remember right, you are actually supposed to let your provincial insurance know if you leave the province for more than three weeks. People will get treatment, but the billing can be an issue, as they have to bill the province where you live.Not sure what you mean? If someone who is homeless collapses in the street here in Oz he/she is taken to a hospital. Treated - but many end up back on the streets again......

I think you've nailed the problem right there - you don't fit the usual boxes & that throws the lower level bureaucrats into chaos - they don't know what do and blame the patient. I trust that your face-to-face meeting will be MUCH better and there should certainly be capable health team to sort this stuff out with you. Hoping the melatonin & calming tea helped with some sleep last night.The woman I spoke with didn't seem to understand which box I belonged in.....
I expect BC is similar and that is why they are giving you a hard time. An easy option would be to return to your permanent home for treatment. although in Ontario for instance you have to also be careful how much time you are out of the province or you lose your coverage
I am sorry you had this added stress. I hope this helps explain why a bit. Health care is a provincial issue, like education
