5 principles of Canada Health Act
1. Public Administration
2. Comprehensiveness
3. Universality
4. Portability
5. Accessibility
Public administration
- Public authority administers and operates the health care insurance plan on non-profit basis

Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs)
- 2006 MOHLTC divided the province into 14 regions or Local Health Integration Networks
- Bring together health care partners from - hospitals, community care, community support services, community mental health and addictions, community health centres and long-term care
- Ensure services are integrated and coordinated
- Comprehensive access to health care system - better experience for Ontarians
Comprehesiveness
- The health insurance plans of the provinces and territories must insure all medically necessary health services (insured services — hospital, physician, surgical-dental) and, where permitted, services rendered by other health care practitioners
Universality
- All insured persons in the province or territory must be entitled to public health insurance coverage on uniform terms and conditions
Portability
- Residents moving from one province or territory to another must continue to be covered for insured health services by the "home" province during a minimum waiting period, not to exceed three months, imposed by the new province / territory of residence. Residents temporarily absent from their home provinces or territories, or from the country, must also continue to be covered for insured health care services
Accessibility
- Reasonable access by insured persons to medically necessary hospital and physician services must be unimpeded by financial or other barriers, such as discrimination on the basis of age, health status or financial circumstances. Reasonable access in terms of physical availability of medically necessary services has been interpreted under the Canada Health Act as access to insured health care services at the setting "where" the services are provided and "as" the services are available in that setting
