Health insurance in Canada provides supplemental coverage for what’s excluded from the national healthcare program
Canada boasts one of the world’s most comprehensive healthcare systems, providing free access to emergency care and regular doctor visits to all citizens and permanent residents.

Ontario’s Your Health Act: Changes to the Legal Framework for Independent Health Facilities | Knowledge
The Ontario government recently introduced Bill 60, the Your Health Act, 2023. According to the Ministry of Health, Bill 60 aims to, among other things, improve patient wait times and patient experiences by expanding access to publicly funded, community based health services.[1]
