Why should I purchase health insurance?
In Canada, basic health insurance is provided by your province or territory. Your government insurance covers some significant health expenses like hospital stays and routine doctor visits, but there are many health-related services and products it doesn’t cover.
This is why it’s so important to look into getting additional health insurance. Supplemental health insurance provides you with:
• Increased coverage
• Protection from rising health care costs
• Coverage when you need it
The right health insurance plan will protect you and your family from the impact of unexpected and expensive medical costs.
