Costs are enormous often because of executive compensation and shareholder payout.

    Hospitals have to be nonprofit here, so we can't actually have shareholder payouts.

    Executive compensation is public information in Ontario and you can look it up - often they're paid less than Doctors in their own hospital.

    EDIT: also, unit rates are set but the insurer (in this case the govt), so its not like hospitals can charge different amounts based on internal costs.
