The Canadian healthcare system is well developed, highly efficient and, despite its drawbacks, provides Canadian residents with the best healthcare they deserve. The Canadian government created the Canada Health Act and developed it in all provinces and territories to ensure better healthcare for your country of residence. There are thirteen provinces and territories in Canada that operate under the Canada Health Act. The health services described by Health Canada are as follows: Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Health and Community Services, Prince Edward Island Department of Health and Welfare, Nova Scotia Department of Health and Welfare, New Brunswick Department of Health, Ministry of Health and Human Services, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Manitoba Health, Saskatchewan Health, Alberta Health, Ontario Ministry of Health British Columbia, Yukon Department of Health and Social Services, Northwest Territories Department of Health and Social Services, Nunavut Department of Health. Health Canada has provided annual reports to keep Canadian residents updated for an overall view of the year (Health Canada, 2013). The Canada Health Act works on the basis of its five fundamental principles which include Public Administration, Comprehensiveness, Universality, Portability, Accessibility. The public administration requires that only public non-profit entities be authorized to carry out provincial health insurance admiration. Comprehensiveness implies that very important necessary healthcare services such as hospitals, doctors and surgical dentists must be fully insured. Universal care takes care of all insured residents to provide the same level of health care to all. Portability covers residents for healthcare when...... middle of paper ......Indian resident with better healthcare service. Canadians do not receive healthcare services for free because they directly or indirectly pay for them in taxes, the government maintains the healthcare system but does not spend money out of its own pocket as it is paid for by the public (Canadian point of view). Even paying money for their own health care, Canadians do not get all health benefits such as prescription drug coverage, dental coverage, optometrist coverage and some surgeries (Health Canada). Due to public health services, the quality of health services is not good as the wait is longer for check-ups (Canadian point of view). Therefore, in the end, Canadians get health services with some difficulty, which is better since health services are maintained properly by the government, so it is better than not providing services..
