Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Canada's health care system is a single-payer health care system, in which the government pays for the health care services provided to all Canadian residents. This is different from an out-of-pocket system, where individuals are responsible for paying for their own health care costs, and a universal health insurance system, where individuals purchase health insurance from a private company. While some people may refer to Canada's system as socialized medicine, this term is generally used to describe a system in which the government owns and operates the health care facilities and employs the health care providers, which is not the case in Canada.
