New Delhi, April 6 -- An 88-year-old woman from India, visiting Canada on a six-month super visa, was hospitalized with severe breathing complications and faced a staggering hospital bill of $96,000 ( Rs.57 lakh), despite having an insurance policy.

Alice John arrived in Brampton, Ontario, in January 2024 to spend time with her son, Joseph Christy, who was overjoyed to have her visit. However, what was meant to be a joyful family reunion took a distressing turn when she required urgent medical care, reported CTV News.
