Indian woman travels to Canada, gets hospitalized and hit with Rs 82 lakh medical bill days later

Alice John, an 88-year-old Indian woman visiting Brampton, Ontario, on a super visa, faced a medical emergency requiring hospitalization for hypoxic respiratory failure. Despite having insurance coverage, her initial claim was denied due to a pre-existing condition clause related to congestive heart failure. However, the insurance agency later agreed to fully cover the $96,311 medical bill.
