"Healthcare in Calgary is generally considered to be quite affordable. The Canadian government provides universal healthcare coverage to all citizens and permanent residents, meaning that most medical services are covered at no cost. However, health insurance is not mandatory and can be quite expensive. Private health insurance plans can be costly, and may not cover all medical services. It is important to research and compare different plans to find the best coverage for your needs," said another expat in Calgary, Canada.
