Understanding Out-of-Pocket Healthcare Costs in Canada

Out-of-pocket healthcare costs in Canada refer to expenses individuals must pay directly for healthcare services and products, despite the country’s publicly funded healthcare system. While the Canada Health Act (1984) guarantees universal access to medically necessary services, it does not fully cover all healthcare-related expenditures. This includes prescription drugs, dental care, vision care, and some medical procedures.
