For Ontario it is called OHIP which stands for Ontario Health Insurance Plan which unlike any other insurance plan is your right to always have provided you are a citizen of Ontario. The government of Ontario is the financial provider as well as the Canadian government. Of course if you were to travel to any other country, it is advisable you take some kind of health insurance with you like Blue Cross. For example if I was to get sick in the U.S, Blue Cross would cover me for and than transport me back to Canada. Any other cost afterwards associated with it would be covered by OHIP.
