FWIW, how those provinces ranked:
1. Ontario 762
2. British Columbia 705
3. Nova Scotia 696
4. New Brunswick 679
5. Alberta 663
6. Prince Edward Island 636
7. Manitoba 613
8. Quebec 605
9. Saskatchewan 600
10. Newfoundland 592
The report was based on several factors.
In terms of patient rights and information, Alberta ranked 7th. (ON first, NS last)
Primary care, Alberta ranked 4th (ON first, PQ last)
Waiting times, Alberta ranked 9th (PQ first, MB last)
Outcomes, Alberta ranked 5th (NS first, PQ last)
Range of services offered, Alberta ranked 6th (ON first, PEI last)
The report has a brief synopsis of each province at the end. It rightly blasts Alberta for waiting times and states that many Albertans do not have a family doctor. However, most other provinces are taken to task for various reasons, and oddly enough, not all of them are controlled by Conservative governments.
