Canadian health care system is simpler to understand than the US model in many ways, as well as other systems around the world. While it is largely paid for publicly, it is delivered privately, and Canadians are empowered to choose any health care provider they like, and the government will reimburse that practitioner with an agreed-upon fee for service.
No, Canada’s health care system is not perfect. There are problems, ranging from long wait times to the gender gap. However, when compared with most other nations, Canada’s system ranks very well. How does Canadian health care work? It’s a single-payer system, with most funds coming from the federal government. However, charitable contributions and even private insurance have roles to play, as well.

Progressives on the left love pointing to Canada as an equitable and efficient health care system. Conservatives use Canada as an example when warning about the dangers of socialized medicine and unchecked bureaucracy. So how exactly is medicare working in Canada and how does it compare to the United States?
