Health costs rise as lifestyle diseases sweep Manitoba
The Manitoba Health Services Commission faces a $545.8 million budget with $829.6 million earmarked for hospitals. Daily patient costs vary by hospital size, with ICU at about $204.95 per day. If Manitobans quit smoking, hit healthy weights, and improve diets, hospital costs could drop by roughly 10 percent, saving tens of millions, while reducing doctor visits for related issues.
