Pretty clear how crown corporations provide much better value to the people with SGI (SK) and MPI (MB) at the very bottom of the list.

ICBC in BC as well. Quebec also runs a public system but weren't included in the article for whatever reason. I would be curious to know where they rank.

The average premium was $796 in 2022.

...Well damn why aren't we all doing what they're doing?

We still have to get insurance through private companies in Qc. No apparent reason not to be included.

Just corporations providing the best service for the lowest prices /s

I'm very anti-privatization of health care. People wonder why.

I've read before that Ontario has the highest rate of insurance fraud/ false claims. Factors like that may have affected Ontario's price, bringing it up. I wonder how Saskatchewan compares. Does Saskatchewan have a high rate of insurance fraud. If Ontario had a publicly owned insurance company, how much cheaper would it be?

I can speak for Manitoba. MPI has a very robust anti-fraud investigative department.

They report publicly each year. (Partly to show the public that they're protecting the integrity of the system, and partly to remind potential scumbags that they're being watched and probably won't get away with their "clever" plan.)

It would be awesome if Ontario insurances made this information public. I would love to have public insurance here.
