Healthcare in Canada is decentralized and publicly funded. The system, known as Canadian Medicare, is administered by the provincial governments and funded by the federal government. Citizens and permanent residents are able to access the healthcare system, but benefits vary by province. For example, some provinces cover prescription drugs while others do not. Due to these gaps in coverage, two-thirds of Canadians hold private insurance.

- The Canadian healthcare system is structured on 5 principals: public administration, comprehensiveness, portability, universality, and accessibility.
Education
Education in Canada is free and available to all people. Schooling is compulsory for all children aged 6-16 with the option to study for two more years to receive preparation for university. University is not free, but the cost is subsidized by the provincial and federal government. Public schools in Canada follow a standardized system and classes are taught in English, though some schools will offer instruction in French.
- Canada earns an “A” for its high-school completion rate and ranks 2nd out of 16 peer countries.
