I haven't gone over it all yet but its not that similar to our system at all. Here no one pays into a plan or anything, every citizen is covered under their provincial Medical Care Plan so coverage changes from province to province, but generally anything you go to the hospital for is free, the only thing I ever had to pay for thus far is prescriptions. You can get insurance to cover prescriptions and private hospital rooms and vision and dental, wheras I believe America's Plan is going to make it so you don't get rejected for a pre existing condition, here you can when it comes to buying insurance. Most places that I have worked at though lets you opt into the company health care plan within a time frame where your previous conditions don't come into play, and my university covers everything but insulin for full time students. On your own it sucks to buy insurance, but through work or school its not so bad. Oh, and abortion is totally free, except in New Brunswick.
