Does medicare cover a person who is residing and receiving healthcare out of country, like in China?

In Canada, you have to reside in your home province for so many days a year in order to be covered. I'm not sure what the numbers are, but I know there are limits to how long you can be away and still be covered.

Don't you think you are being a little extravagant buying Pinesol yet? Haven't seen it lately but when I was a kid I remember a round container of lime on the toilet seat and we used to dump some down after #2. :lol::lol::lol:

Styrofoam on the seat and wood ash down the chute and yur good to go. Foam heats up to bum temperature at -60 in a split second and wood ash kills the smell fine. If yur gettin' water from a river or lake, a chunk of plywood over the hole will keep it easy to chop open in the morning.

If memory serves me right I believe you have to spend 183 days a year in Canada.
