Yes, Canada maintains its publicly funded universal healthcare system—widely known as Medicare—which provides free, publicly insured medical care for medically necessary hospital and physician services to all eligible Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Funded through federal and provincial tax revenues, patients do not pay direct out-of-pocket user fees or monthly premiums when visiting doctors or receiving hospital treatments. However, this public coverage framework is exclusively reserved for legal residents and does not extend free medical care to foreign visitors, tourists, or temporary travelers without valid provincial health cards.
