However, it's publicly funded through taxation. Here’s a point-form explanation of how it works:Taxes Fund the System :The federal and provincial governments collect income taxes, corporate taxes, and consumption taxes (like GST and PST/HST) to fund healthcare. Federal Transfers :The federal government provides funding to provinces/territories through the Canada Health Transfer (CHT) to help cover healthcare costs. Provincial/Territorial Funding :Provinces and territories manage and deliver healthcare services. They use tax revenue to fund hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers. No Fees at the Point of Service :Canadians don't pay directly for medically necessary services like doctor visits, hospital stays, or diagnostic tests. Additional Health Insurance :Many Canadians have private insurance (or employer-provided benefits) to cover things not included in the public system, such as dental, vision, or prescription drugs. Healthcare Isn't Free :The cost is embedded in the taxes Canadians pay. Per capita healthcare spending is approximately CAD 7,000 per year (varies by province). Provincial Variations :Provinces decide how funds are allocated. Some provinces charge health premiums, but services are still provided even if individuals can't pay. So, while healthcare is "free" at the point of use, it’s ultimately funded by taxes. 4o
