Statistic Canada income: The thresholds are based on Statistic Canada low income measures, according to CBC. For example, a one person household increased from $19,960 to $20,784. Most Nova Scotians are charged $142.30 per ambulance trip, but that fee can be waived by people who show they are low income under the province Ambulance Fee Assistance Program. The ambulance program changes came in effect May 1. James Hutt, head of the Nova Scotia Citizens Health Care Network, wants the province to eliminate all ambulance fees. "We're talking an inch versus a mile. According to an internal government note, the province will also no longer accept applications from people who should be covered by a third-party insurance. "This would apply specifically to patients involved in a motor vehicle accident who did not have car insurance," reads the memo. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
