Survey responses are provided from a national perspective and do not necessarily reflect the situation in a single province or territory. The roles and responsibilities for Canada's health care system are shared between the federal and provincial/territorial governments. Provincial and territorial governments are responsible for the management, organization and delivery of health services for their residents. All Canadians receive medically necessary physician and hospital services from their publicly funded health care system. As the Canadian health system is based on need rather than an ability to pay, it is fair to say that all Canadians have full-dollar coverage for their basic primary health care needs.
