Abstract: The simple story of Canadian hospital financing --- single-source (tax-based) public funding through provincial Ministries of Health to individual institutions through prospective global budgets -- offers a relatively accurate general picture which, nevertheless, masks both provincial/territorial variations in the details, and the different ways in which capital and operating costs are funded and allocated.
