Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Canada?
When we asked expats in Canada if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Canada, they wrote...
"Healthcare and health insurance in Canada can be expensive, depending on the type of coverage and services needed. Generally, Canadians pay for their healthcare through taxes, which are used to fund public health insurance plans. Private health insurance plans are also available, but they tend to be more expensive and may not cover all of the services that are available through public plans. Additionally, some services may not be covered by either public or private plans, and these services may need to be paid for out-of-pocket," said a member in Canada.
