John and Angela: I saw where you posted that hospital costs are more or less the same across Canada. It is my understanding that this is not quite correct. I know that BC charges more than Manitoba. I will see if I can find that info. The Canada health act is very weak and hardly any province follows that act I think it is Quebec that provides no medication coverage outside of Quebec. In Manitoba surgeons are very inexpensive but if the operation is performed in Manitoba they get some sort of huge extra payment from a pool. Outside the province Manitoba Health only pays the basic amount.
