Thankfully, they can't just come up here for free treatment, they would still have to show their health-card that shows that they have backing and the work will be payed for.

Of course serious life threatening things would be taken care of, but they will still hassle the person for payment.
FWIW and IIRC, illegal immigrants in Canada have gone to court for medical coverage based on their Charter Rights. I don't know how these cases turned out.
