Let me just explain very simply.

Healthcare is not free. Everyone does have insurance by the government, but we also get a bill we have to pay just like your health insurance.

Our car insurance is much the same way, there is 1 car insurance company , the government.

You may buy EXTRA insurance just like in any country from many different companies. But your basic insurance is covered thru the government.
what are you talking about? neither healthcare nor auto insurance are run by the federal government, every province is different.
