POLL: Gyne Surgery Coverage by province

[piped_in]

Having seen a lot of questions about what people can expect in different provinces (and being quite different from healthcare in the US) why don't we try to gather this information in one thread.

I propose a poll:

1.   What province/territory do you live in?
2.   What is the name of your provincial health care system?
3.   What surgery did you have (excision, lipo, etc)?
4.   When (year)?
5a.  Which part(s) was covered and which part(s) did you have to pay for?
5b.  If you had to pay how much was it ($CAN)?
6.   Where was surgery performed (clinic, hospital, etc)?

And since I asked the question I'll go first:

1.  Ontario
2.  OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan)
3.  Excision and Lipo
4.  1997
5a.  Fully covered
5b.  -
6.  hospital - day surgery unit

2 months post op, maybe a tiny change but still pretty puffy, the doc says the scar tissue isn't letting the liquid out...... , we'll see how it is in 3 months or so
