Does provincial health care cover me across Canada?

Most Canadians love their universal health care. Yet we often forget that health care is a provincial responsibility. When we travel into other provinces, we may be surprised to find out we’re not covered. Take these two examples:

The Ontario hospital she gave birth in was not properly equipped to handle such a premature baby, so mother and child were emergency airlifted to a larger hospital with better resources. They returned to Alberta healthy, but received a bill for tens of thousands of dollars.  

While vacationing in Yukon, an Ontario man became seriously ill. He was airlifted to Vancouver to receive treatment and later received a bill for nearly $20,000.

Did you know there’s a huge difference between collector car insurance and regular car insurance? We’ll explain these different coverages and why you wouldn’t want to insure your collector car like a regular vehicle. This includes: 

  • How vehicles are valued.  
  • Driving restrictions. 
  • The cost of coverage.  
  • Ability to do your own repairs. 
  • Storage requirements.  
  • Driver requirements.  
  • Emergency roadside assistance. 
  • Claims handling.

One of the biggest differences between collector car insurance and regular car insurance is how the vehicles are valued. Regular car insurance value your vehicle based on the price you purchased it for or its current market value (purchase price plus depreciation). However, a collector car insurance policy values the vehicle based on an agreed value. This means the collector vehicle is valued based on an appraisal or its true market value. This is important because collector vehicles don’t depreciate like a regular vehicle.
