The Pros of the Canadian Health Plan
THE PROS:
No doctor bills, no hospital bills, no co-pays.
No one is excluded.
Excellent public health, preventative services, free mammograms, dietitians, diabetic nurses and nurses for home visits for new mothers, the chronically ill and the elderly.
Emergency transport by air or ambulance is provided for a minimal charge in most Provinces of about $60 or so.
Low health premiums
Supplemental policies are allowed for dental and other misc. items but by law can not include any services provided by the basic provincial health plan.
Doctors may not collect fees from patients and also bill the Province for the same service.
Doctors may opt out of the system.
Very few unnecessary surgeries
