  • Introduction
  • Table of Contents
  • Fewer services are channelled through physicians and hospitals, and both sectors account for decreasing percentages of total health expenditures. Total spending on health care has risen and private spending by individuals or insurers has been growing more quickly than public spending. Today, about 70% of total Canadian health expenditures comes from the public purse. The remainder (about 30%) comes from private sources. In this report, we look at trends in financing and at variations in this 70/30 split across provinces and territories.
