of the insured population to insured services that on uniform
terms and condition. Universality negates discrimination based

programs.

insure all medically necessary hospital and physician services

outside of Canada. There may be some limit to coverage of
services provided outside of Canada. Prior approval may be
needed for non-emergency out of the province services.

health care insurance must be administered and operated on a
non profit basis by a public authority who is publicly
accountable to the provincial government for funds spent. The
provincial government determines the extent and amount for
coverage of insured services

all Canadians to have reasonable access to insured hospital and
physician services without barrier, regardless of income, age,
health status, gender, or geographical area. Additional charges to
