I'm Canadian. Almost nobody does this, although health benefits through work will usually cover the cost of drugs and dental. But nobody is paying extra for medical coverage outside of those areas.
- tinyhouse 7y agoAccording to this 67% of Canadians are paying extra for supplementary insurance. (it's a few years old but probably didn't change much since) https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/health_glance-2015-39-en.pdf?expires=1575305434&id=id&accname=guest&checksum=9D19D04B300E74512459F5C13EC2C57F https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/health_glance-2015-3...
- claudeganon 7y agoThat supplemental insurance is most likely just dental and prescription drugs. It’s not for the more expedited care you cited. Drugs in Canada are still cheaper overall because of government involvement in the market and many Canadians actually wish their national system was expanded to include dental care.
