Letting healthcare be a provincial responsibility was a mistake; it really infringes with freedom of movement
This isn’t something new though. Even people vacationing in other provinces have been turned away due to payment complexities and the system is supposed to cover those

The bright side is that if it were possible to change then we probably wouldn’t have it at all
