>While many health insurance plans here still require the facility to apply to the Provincial Health Care System first, before the benefits kick in, it still sounds like we have a better way of handling it. I am uncertain if Insurance companies can even apply to our Provinicial Health care system for additional funds. Provincially we have more control. <<

The difference is that in Canada (and just about every other industrialized nation) the health care system emphasizes the needs of the public, not those of health care providers, pharmaceutical companies, and insurers. Imagine that!
