加拿大哪个省的医保最好?WHAT PROVINCE HAS THE BEST HEALTHCARE IN CANADA?

加拿大的医疗保健体系,依托居民缴纳地税款运作。除某些特定处方药和治疗需要患者自行付费外,大部分公共医疗服务都是免费的。根据宪法,加拿大境内十个省份和三个地区的政府,通过特定的医保协议管理运行当地的健卫系统。因此,每个省份或地区的医保覆盖范围有所不同。我们强烈建议新移民通过购买私人医疗保险,以补充政府医保覆盖范围的不足。

以下是每个省份和地区医保覆盖的医疗服务清单。点击超链接,进入各省和地区对应的医保官方页面。

Healthcare in this country operates through a universal healthcare model funded through the taxes that residents pay annually. In most cases, public health services are free for all Canadians at the point of use, although certain medications (ex. prescription drugs) and treatments will require the recipient to pay out of pocket.

Under Canada’s Constitution, health care falls under the authority of the provinces and territories. Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories. Public health services in each province and territory across Canada are managed by specific insurance plans and agreements in each region. Therefore, the services covered in each province or territory may differ. In each case, insurance to supplement public healthcare coverage is highly recommended.

Here is a list of what medical services are covered under each provincial and territorial healthcare plan. To read about each province/territory’s healthcare in greater detail, please visit the pages hyperlinked in each region’s section below.

加拿大为何需要移民?Why Canada Needs Immigrants?

加拿大通过吸纳大量新移民,以保持其强劲的经济增长。

加拿大拥有世界上最老龄化的人口结构,以及最低的出生率;这导致了严重的经济与财政压力。较低的自然人口增长率,也导致劳动力市场人才紧缺与经济增长缓慢。缓慢的经济增长使得加拿大难以通过提高税收来支持教育、医疗保健和其他重要公共服务领域支出,以保证国民较高的生活标准。因此,自1980年代末以来,加拿大一直在提高其移民水平,以增加人口、劳动力和经济增长率。如今,加拿大依赖移民来实现其大部分人口和劳动力的增长,以便在更大程度上促进其经济发展。

如不加以干预,截止到2030年加拿大将有900万婴儿潮的一代人达到65岁的退休年龄。这意味着在加拿大医疗保健的社会支出明显增加之际,劳动力急剧下降。为缓解这一问题,加拿大一直在积极找寻应对方案,逐渐提高其移民水平,至今已超过30年。自1988年以来,加拿大每年接纳超过20万新移民。近年来,加拿大决定将其移民水平大幅提高到每年超过40万。加拿大目前的移民率接近1.2%。换而言之,与美国相比,加拿大的人均接纳移民数量是美国的三倍。

基于当前人口数量和移民趋势,加拿大很可能在可预见的未来,继续逐渐增加移民水平。移民将继续对支持加拿大保持健康的经济发展,和解决财政问题发挥关键作用。

此外,有充分的理据表明,新冠疫情更加凸显移民的重要性。新冠疫情在短期内削弱了加拿大经济,并导致政府在社会服务上的支出大幅增加。加拿大的出生率在2019年降至历史最低的每位女性对应1.47个新生儿。加之,疫情前就已经很低的出生率,以及后疫情时代由于经济的不确定性可能进一步降低出生率的可能性,未来几年加拿大将更加依赖移民实现人口增长。如果加拿大的出生率保持低迷,那么在未来几十年中,移民将占据劳动力增长的更大份额。最后,加拿大将需要通过移民加强税基,以支持疫情后的各项政府开支。

Canada welcomes high levels of immigration to keep its economy strong.

Canada has one of the world’s oldest populations and also one of the world’s lowest birth rates. This creates economic and fiscal pressures. Canada has a low rate of natural population growth which results in low rates of labour force and economic growth. Low economic growth makes it difficult for Canada to raise the taxes it needs to support social spending on services such as education, health care, and other important areas that provide high living standards in the country.

As a result, Canada has been increasing its immigration levels since the late 1980s to increase its rate of population, labour force, and economic growth. Canada now depends on immigration for the majority of its population and labour force growth and a larger share of its economic growth.

Consider that Canada will have 9 million baby boomers reach the retirement age of 65 by the year 2030. This means that Canada will have fewer workers at a time when its social spending on health care will rise. To alleviate this challenge, Canada has been proactive by gradually raising its immigration targets for over 30 years now.

Canada has regularly welcomed over 200,000 immigrants per year since 1988. In recent years, it has decided to increase its levels to well over 400,000 per year. Canada’s immigration rate now stands at nearly 1.2 per cent. In other words, Canada welcomes three times more immigrants on a per capita basis than then the United States of America.

Based on its demographic realities and its immigration trends, it appears likely that Canada will continue to gradually increase its immigration levels over the foreseeable future. Immigration will remain critical to supporting a healthy economy and fiscal situation in the country.

Moreover, a strong argument can be made that immigration’s importance has increased due to the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 has weakened the Canadian economy in the short run and increased government spending on social services. In addition, Canada’s birth rate fell to its lowest level ever of 1.47 children per woman in 2019. Given the low birth rate prior to the pandemic, and the chance the pandemic will reduce the birth rate even further due to economic uncertainty, Canada will become even more dependent on immigration for its population growth in the coming years. If Canada’s birth rate remains low, then immigration will comprise an even larger share of labour force growth in the decades to come. Finally, Canada will need to strengthen its tax base through immigration to support government spending following COVID-19.
