On July 1, 1966, Ontario's first government-run health plan was established, and was known as OMSIP (Ontario Medical Services Insurance Plan).

On October 1, 1969, OHSIP, the Ontario Health Services Insurance Plan, replaced OMSIP. It was a provincially run and federally assisted plan. In 1972, it was shortened to OHIP.

Who pays OHIP premiums for new immmigrants?

In Ontario, new immigrants are generally required to wait three months before they are eligible for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). During this waiting period, they are responsible for their own healthcare costs, as OHIP premiums are not applicable to individuals during this time. Once eligible, OHIP is publicly funded, meaning that Ontario residents do not pay premiums directly for OHIP coverage. However, the costs are covered through taxes.
