Do American immigrants get free health care in Canada?

Q. I plan on moving there, and I'm planning budgets. But I know that Canadians have free health care. Do immigrants get to utilize this as well?

A. Yes they do. But not everything is free! If you are in the hospital, you don't get semi-private or private rooms for free, ambulance is not free, plus in most provinces, you must pay a premium for your health card. Drugs are not free, unless there's some kind of low income program offered by provincial government. Check out the Ministry of Health government websites for each province in addition to Health Canada, And Immigrations Canada


What's the difference between free education and free health care?
Q. With all this talk about reforming health care, I hear a lot of people talking about not wanting to pay for other's health care and about how free health care isn't a right. Don't we use a tax-based system for education or am I missing something? What's the difference?

A. $10,500,000,000,000


Who wants to march on Washington DC for free health care in the USA?
Q. May, 2008 I am planning a march on Washington DC for free health care in the USA. This is a great cause and our nation really needs to join the rest of the western world in the idea of a we society not a me society. I was wondering how everyone feels about this cause and who's with me in the fight to get free and universal health care?

A. Go ahead, it's a free country. Just be sure you post the date and time of your little get-together. I only live 3 hours from DC. I'll be sure to drop by with my "death to socialism" posters in hand.


Are you entitled to free health care if your a full time student?
Q. Does anybody know if you can get free health care? I'm 18 and need oral surgery but can't afford it. Anybody know how to get access to any free health care?

A. Provision of free medical assistance to student is a policy matter. If the policy of your country and college or institution allows the free assistance then you will get the oral surgery at no cost. Please consult some of the doctors who are associated with your college and get the requisite information from them. Good Luck
