Quebec

===Healthcare===
Quebec has a health policy that emphasizes prevention, is based on the analysis of health-related data, and evolves with the needs of the population. Similar to other developed economies, the public health policies implemented in Quebec have extended the life expectancy of its population since the mid-20th century.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.stat.gouv.qc.ca/publications/demograp/pdf2006/Bilan2006.pdf|title= La situation démographique au Québec|work= Bilan 2006|publisher= Institut de la statistique du Québec|isbn= 2-550-48491-6|page= 53|access-date= April 29, 2021|archive-date= July 5, 2007|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070705142621/http://www.stat.gouv.qc.ca/publications/demograp/pdf2006/Bilan2006.pdf|url-status= dead}}</ref>

Health and social services are part of the same administration. The Quebec health system is also public, which means that the [[État québécois|government]] acts as the main insurer and administrator, that funding is provided by general taxation, and that patients have access to care regardless of their income level.

There are 34 health establishments in Quebec, 22 of which are an {{ill|Integrated Health and Social Services Centre|fr|Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux}} (CISSS). They ensure the distribution of different services on the territories they are assigned to. Quebec has approximately 140 hospitals for general or specialised care (CHSGS). Quebec also has other types of establishments in its healthcare system, such as ''Centre local de services communautaires'' (CLSC), ''Centre d'hébergement et de soins de longue durée'' (CHSLD), ''Centre de réadaptation'' and ''Centre de protection de l'enfance et de la jeunesse''. Finally, there are private healthcare establishments (paid for directly by the patient) like {{ill|Groupe de médecine de famille|fr|Groupes de médecine de famille}}, pharmacies, private clinics, dentists, community organisations and retirement homes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://publications.msss.gouv.qc.ca/acrobat/f/documentation/2007/07-731-01F.pdf|title=Le système de santé et de services sociaux au Québec|publisher=Ministère de la santé et des services sociaux|access-date=April 29, 2021|archive-date=January 17, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090117205442/http://publications.msss.gouv.qc.ca/acrobat/f/documentation/2007/07-731-01F.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>

A 2021 Ipsos poll found that 85% of Quebecers agree that their health care system is too bureaucratic to respond to the needs of the population<ref>{{Cite web|last=QMI|first=Agence|title=Les québécois en faveur d'une implication du privé dans le secteur de la Santé|url=https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2021/12/01/les-quebecois-en-faveur-dune-implication-du-prive-dans-le-secteur-de-la-sante|access-date=December 3, 2021|website=Le Journal de Montréal}}</ref> and in 2023 found that less than half of Quebecers are satisfied with the provincial health care system.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Healthcare in Canada 2023 {{!}} Montreal Economic Institute |url=https://www.iedm.org/healthcare-in-canada-2023/ |access-date=2023-05-01 |website=www.iedm.org |language=en-US}}</ref>
