What are healthcare services like in Canada?

We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Canada. They wrote...

"Healthcare services in Canada are comprehensive and accessible. Canadians have access to a range of services including doctor and hospital visits, diagnostic and screening services, prescription medications, and clinical preventive services. The Canadian public health care system is funded through taxes, and covers essential health services for all Canadians, regardless of income or medical history. Canada also has a supplementary private health care system which allows individuals to purchase additional coverage or access services that are not covered by the public system," said a member in Canada.
