Get to know Canada’s Health Care System

Canada has a universal health care system funded through taxes. This means that any Canadian citizen or permanent resident can apply for public health insurance. Each province and territory has a different health plan that covers different services and products. There are some important difference between each plan so make sure you know what your plan covers.
