Medicare (Canada)

The term medicare (in lower case) (assurance-maladie) refers to Canada's
well-known universal public health insurance system. Under the terms of the
Canada Health Act, the provinces provide all residents with health insurance
cards, which entitle the bearer to receive free medical care for almost all
procedures. Patients are free to choose their own doctor, hospital, etc.
Health institutions are either private and not-for-profit (such as
university hospitals) or state-run (such as Quebec's CLSC system), and
doctors in private practice are entrepreneurs who bill the medicare system
for their fees.
