This will probably address the two sub-headings.
 
All province entries except CF are geographical and administrative. CF is only administrative. If we are interested in flagging patients who live in a province but are not insured by that province we would also need to track First Nations, RCMP and resident aliens like visa students. I don't think we care to break out the rest, so for consistency the "CF" province entry should be eliminated.
