“” Never said healthcare in Canada is free Mr. dud.

It is paid for through the tax system Mr dud.

Also by bequeath when people die Mr. dud.

Also by donation Mr. dud ,, but not by tee wee or ol tater because all they do is whine about how terrible

Canada is ,,lead by the shiny pony Mr dud.

Also by individuals that support 50/50 draws & such for individual hospitals that rack up millions Mr dud.

If Canadians require surgery or are unfortunately in hospital for a month have zero BILL Mr dud.

You should pay attention to Mr Mittens or combs his hair with a balloon, in your country..Mr. dud. ;+) “

"Zero cost to me."... how is Universal Health Care in Canada is funded? is it free in point form

Universal healthcare in Canada is often described as "free" because services are provided without direct charges at the point of care. However, it's publicly funded through taxation. Here’s a point-form explanation of how it works:

  1. 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.
  2. Federal Transfers:

    • The federal government provides funding to provinces/territories through the Canada Health Transfer (CHT) to help cover healthcare costs.
  3. Provincial/Territorial Funding:

    • Provinces and territories manage and deliver healthcare services. They use tax revenue to fund hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers.
  4. No Fees at the Point of Service:

    • Canadians don't pay directly for medically necessary services like doctor visits, hospital stays, or diagnostic tests.
  5. 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.
  6. 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).
  7. 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.
