It could very well be true. Although they are different countries to where you are, we are in the UK and when we book to go to Ireland the company we book with insists on having our insurance details. Besides, as the first answerer says…they would be daft to travel without it as the cost of treatment is far more than the cost of the insurance. Accidents do happen…believe me, I broke an elbow last year, and a few weeks after that was healed I broke my foot…if I had been abroad I would have been in sh*t street without insurance!

Not exactally mandatory however, I believe that there is a requirement that the visitor have enough resources to be financially responsible.

Never had travel insurance so can't help you on that – I feel it's a waste of money.

First call your travellers insurance. Different insurance companies have different policies. They may ask you if you can wait til you get home because they only cover medical emergencies. You need to find out first though.
I would also call OHIP Out of Country Claims to see if they will reimburse you. (the out of country form has numbers you can reach from out of country) If it is not emergency, you are likely NOT covered. What you insurance company likely will do it ask you to be denied by your provincial plan, and THEN apply to them with the denial letter. Even if OHIP does cover, they only pay what they would normally pay in Canada. And, you will be asked to pay up front in the USA for any medical service. (unless your travel insurance makes arrangements IN ADVANCE with the medical facilty-also why you need to call them first)
I don't know where you are from in Canada, but most areas are the same. Here is what the OHIP site says:
OHIP will pay only for insured, emergency out-of-country health services that are rendered to an insured person. To qualify as an ‘emergency’ there are a number of criteria that must be satisfied. These criteria are set by regulation and all conditions listed below must be met:
the treatment must be medically necessary, and
the treatment must be performed at a licensed hospital or licensed health facility, and
the treatment must be rendered in relation to an illness, disease, condition or injury that :
is acute and unexpected, and
arose outside of Canada, and
requires immediate treatment
(I gave answers for OHIP, but they generally apply across Canada)

No. If you book tickets with Visa/Mastercard they do cover baggage and other travel related problems. After reaching India, you know how the system work their.

It depends on the part of the country. My family doctor charges $68 for a visit, and the convenience clinic charges about $80. When I was in the emergency room's walk-in clinic, I paid about $155. Some malls and drug stores have walk-in clinics that will usually charge somewhere around $50. They are staffed by nurse practioners who can prescribe antibiotics, but will tell you you need to see a doctor if it's something serious.
