I know somebody who got a job and is moving to canada. Will he get free health insurance.? No. It will cost him so much a month/quarter. When I moved to Alberta to work, from July 1999 through August 2002 it was $180 a quarter if I remember correctly. No where as good as U.S. insurance but at least he'll be able to see a doctor for all the little stuff. I strongly recommend he maintain his U.S. health insurance in case he needs any major proceedures in a timely manner. Two problems with the Canadian system is you have to get on a waiting list for procedures and that only some many of each type or procedure is funded every year. Say you have a condition that can be treated two different ways. Treatment A would be best for you and your particular situation but Treatment B would be another viable choice. If all the Treatment A's that were in the budget have been performed for the year you either have to wait until next year or accept Treatment B and hope it works. Source(s): personal experience Free? There are no free lunches. where do you think the Canadian government gets the money from to pay health care providers? It's called t-a-x-a-t-i-o-n! Lots of taxes. update: Right on, YAK. VAT tax. Getting a job means a capacity to get a health insurance. Oh just tell him to forget the job,go on social assistance then he will get everything free,let the rest of us pay the taxes for him!...ha...ha Getting official status in the country allows you health care. Landed, Refugee Claim, Citizen. AS far as it being free, we have high payroll taxes. But then again better to see it come off your cheque, instead of hoping you have enough in the bank when you get to the hospital, like the US. who cares |
