booklet Women and Private Health Insurance for 
distribution to your members and networks. (Please note: 
This free offer is available only in Canada.)

Women and Private Health Insurance is an illustrated and 
easy-to-read booklet, excellent for the general reader. 
The booklet examines why private health insurance matters 
to women in Canada. Approximately 65% of Canadians have 
private supplementary health insurance to cover the costs 
of services not covered by Medicare, such as prescription 
drugs, physiotherapy, long term care, dental care and eye 
care. However, in recent years, Canadians have witnessed 
the expansion of duplicate health insurance. This form of 
private health insurance covers the delivery of 
predominantly private health care services that are 
already covered by Medicare. Women and Private Health 
Insurance examines why this fundamental change may have 
important consequences for women.
