The results of a new survey indicate Canadians are generally content with the health benefit plans they have access to, and find them beneficial in addressing cost-of-living issues.
According to a public opinion study conducted by Abacus Data for the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA), 86% to 88% of individuals who have access to an employer-sponsored or equivalent group plan say they are very or mainly satisfied with it.
Those with privately purchased insurance are satisfied in 80% of cases, while those with access to expanded benefits through a provincial plan are satisfied in 74% of cases.
