either or. you can go ICBC for everything but collision through ICBC is generaly more expensive than privat if you have a good driving record.

I don't know what insurance is like in manatoba, but I pay about 600 for basic, and comprehensive on my diesel truck. only thing I don't have is collision but my trucks paid off.

for the BC medical I would call the BC goverment that deals with that, if your retired I can't see them charging you that.. I don't know anyone personaly that pays over 36 bucks per month, but I don't know many millionairs either

ok I just did some looking and full rate is 60 bucks per month, family of 2 is 109/month and 3 or more is 120/month. that is based on a parson making over 30,000/year, i don't know if they could pensions as income for this purpose, so you would have to make some inquires.

I know lots of people with money, problem is they work and have company health care.. are all pensions included? that would suck, as I am ok with my military pension I am still included in the pensionairs health car plan which is reduced rate but for people with normal pensions that don't have a health care link and then ccp on top of that could easialy brake the 30000.00 max for dicounts. so at 29,999.00 you pay about 36 bucks/month at 30,000.00 you pay 66 bucks. I think its liknda stupid my self one of the only two or three provences that even charges for health care.

Yep agreed Steve on the provinces that charge. Just plain stupid. Should be reflected in provincial income tax. I dont see how anyone can call over $30000 in the millionaire club.

So if we dont have two tier health care, how the hell come some pay more than others.
Wonder if its individual or family income. Thats a large difference for some. To many damm variables. Guess we will just find out when we arrive.

So many little things, another thousand or so a year here and a few hundred more here, and few hundred more here. It adds up if ones not careful and when on a limited budget, it requires some scrutiny. Or just work like I do here, but the option or not to if wished, would be nice.

I do appreciate the help with the info. Guess lunch is on me when I get there.

whens the big date or have you found a place yet?

theres a house where I am for about 260K, but it has been on the market for a while and the older couple moved to a condo due to helth reasons so it might be able to be gotten a fair bit cheeper.
