Which is NOT a Canada Health Act principle?

• A. Publicly Administered
• B. Profit
• C. Universal
• D. Accessible

Answer: (B)

Profit is not one of the Canada Health Act principles. The Act rests on five main ideas for insured health care: plans must be publicly administered, universal, portable, accessible, and comprehensive. A profit motive would clash with these goals because it can create barriers to care or inequities, undermining equal access for all residents. The other options reflect actual principles: public administration means the plan is run by a public authority; universal means every eligible resident is covered; accessible means insured services are available to people without financial or other barriers.
