Which Canadian company has the best private health insurance plan?

Question

need insruance for things medicare doesn't cover

Answer 1

Not sure what's "best".

I guess the question is, what else is covered by the plan? Usually, the answer is, whatever your employer wants to cover. If you want something that covers you privately, without being part of an employer group, then over the long run, you're going to pay the same as if you were paying for those items out of pocket.

Things I've seen covered:
additional medical - ambulance fees, private room supplement in hospital, TV in hospital.
Prescription - everything from 50% to 100% of prescription drugs, and other items like orthopedics, braces, crutches, wheelchairs, etc. Fancier stuff, like electric wheelchairs, are NOT convered.
Physiotherapy, home care visits, theraputic massages, and deductibles for chiropractor visits, etc.
Eyeglasses - i.e. a new pair up to $X, each 2 years or each time your lens prescription changes.

I guess it depends what your employer wants to pay for.

Answer 2

They have private health insurance in Canada? I thought that the 50% income tax was supposed to be for public health program . . . if I had to pay 50% for public insurance, and an additional $300 a month for private insurance, I'd be ripped!

Answer 3

deepest well being insurance in Canada is alive and nicely...for this stuff not coated by gov't well being care...eg. Dental...drugs...etc. because it stands today deepest insurance is a few distance extra extreme priced than Gov't well being in surance or Gov't vehicle insurance. deepest insurances perform on the "greed is powerful" idea

Answer 4

It would be very hard to say who is best. There are a few very good ones. There is a link to one of the biggest in Canada on the following site. I'm pretty sure they offer free quotes.
