Medicare in Canada

Medicare in Canada is a publicly funded health system providing essential medical services to all Canadian residents without direct charges at the point of care. Funded primarily through taxes, it ensures access to doctors, hospital care, and necessary medical treatments regardless of income or health status. The system aims to promote equitable healthcare, reduce financial barriers, and ensure that everyone receives timely care. While coverage varies slightly across provinces and territories, the core principles of universality and accessibility remain central to Canada's Medicare.
