If you live in Ontario, Alberta or British Columbia - Canada's richest provinces - you pay health-care premiums

Original Toronto Star caption: If you live in Ontario, Alberta or British Columbia - Canada's richest provinces - you pay health-care premiums. In Newfoundland, the poorest, you don't. In Ontario, doctors can opt out and charge patients more than OHIP pays. In Quebec, patients whose doctors quit the system cannot get one cent back from the government. We do have a national medicare scheme in Canada but it's different everywhere you go.
