Presently in Canada, Canadians are largely covered entirely by our universal healthcare system for all acute and chronic healthcare needs as well as management of chronic health conditions. However, this healthcare system is beginning to erode under the current pressures of our healthcare needs and the changing demographic and health of the Canadian population.
