Healthcare is not entirely free to the individual but close. Canadians have to pay for some or all drugs and dental work and glasses. Also, cosmetic surgery and some other kinds of purely elective surgery are not considered essential care and are generally not covered.

Of course nothing is actually free. It's paid for out of taxes people pay, but there's not a direct charge to individuals when they go to the doctor or hospital, etc.
