Let's say, for arguments sake, that this couple has $100k in assets. Would the hospital be fine with just collecting on that and calling it a day?

A million bucks is worth the expense of chasing it to Canada. The couple isn't judgment proof, but there's a threshold where it's just not worth it for the hospital. They may try to settle with the couple for pennies on the dollar, but if the couple tells them to pound sand, the economics of chasing it only to force the couple into bankruptcy and collecting little to nothing probably makes the hospital walk away.
