摘　　要：Healthcare is significant for a person’s comfort as well as the economic benefit of a country. Irrespective of ability, everyone should have access to health care while anyone is sick. This paper aims to compare Canadian and Indian health care highlighting the financing system and people’s benefits. In Canada, universal health care means everyone, including citizens, permanent residents, and visitors, can have health care from the government. Canadian healthcare pays the doctors based on the services they provide the patients. In India, 80% of health financing comes from private sources through out-of-pocket and private insurance. In India, government-paid doctors can do private practice beyond their office hours;any patient can go to any doctor without the general practitioner’s (GP) referral as the GP system does not exist there. The healthcare agents are aggressively eager to make money, forgetting quality service to the patients. On the other hand, in Canada, the insurance system plays a supportive role in making payments and ensuring quality healthcare.Healthcare is significant for a person’s comfort as well as the economic benefit of a country.
