Health Insurance
I have just arrived in BC from the UK and am currently looking for work. As such I do not have any company provided medical cover, and my travel insurance is just about to run out.
I've been looking for health insurance but am only getting crazy quotes - Bupa Internaltional £4000 for the year!!!!
Can anybody suggest a good health insurance package?
Thanks

I thought enrolling with BC's own Medical Services Plan was obligatory?

have you shopped around yellow pages people who have casual work (without benefits) buy extra health coverage all the time from private insurers so you must be able to buy basic coverage.
you could always phone the local walk-in clinic for advice as they probably deal with such situations frequently.
