About Medicare

Medicare is an unofficial designation used to refer to the publicly funded single-payer healthcare system of Canada. The system consists of ten provincial and three territorial health insurance plans, which provide universal healthcare coverage to Canadian citizens, permanent residents and, depending on the province or territory, certain temporary residents. The systems are individually administered on a provincial or territorial basis, within guidelines set by the federal government. The formal terminology for the insurance system is provided by the 1984 Canada Health Act and the health insurance legislation of the individual provinces and territories.
