So essentially, you don't have health insurance as it's understood in the USA, you have a subsidized province provided carrier that's your only choice.
I guess even if the terminology was wrong the idea was still correct - you have to get the jab because you're "covered" by the singular carrier.

Yes, basically.

Well no. But I imagine they will withhold Healthcare under the guise of Healthcare. Isn't that what "universal healthcare" actually means..?

It all boils down to "get the jab because you don't get anything else until you do."
Regarding the vaccine, no. So far, only employers are able to "force" vaccination through mandates. Most haven't. Especially in essential industries.
Our health system is sorta like American but sorta not. I don't pay to go see the doctor to get a prescription for the rash I got. But I do have to pay for the rush cream. Unless my employer has a health plan for me that covers prescriptions.
If I broke my arm, I'd have it fixed and set by tomorrow for free and a prescription for pain pills, which id pay for, unless my employer provides health benefits.
Interesting. It's always good to have a feet on the ground perspective, the news stories have to condense a lot.
Yah, its not possible to condense the complexities of such a system into a news blurb.
Don't get me wrong, I think they are slowly raising the temperature of the water for the frog boiling metaphor, but even in Quebec, the Healthcare workers rejected the vaccine mandate, and the government had to back down, although I suspect only temporarily
