When I first arrived, the immigration agents explained that since 1970 there has been healthHealth is when you are free of injury, and physically and mentally well. Healthy eating means... care insurance. This system allows all Quebeckers to get free healthHealth is when you are free of injury, and physically and mentally well.

I think healthHealth is when you are free of injury, and physically and mentally well.

They also explained that since 1972, it has been possible to go to a CLSC for not only healthHealth is when you are free of injury, and physically and mentally well.

There’s a CLSC in every neighbourhood, and each one offers services that are adapted for the residents of each particular neighbourhood. When I have a healthHealth is when you are free of injury, and physically and mentally well. Healthy eating means... problem that isn’t urgent, I go to my local CLSC instead of a hospital. This is closer and faster.

He explained that in the 1960s, the Church was in charge of the hospitals and patients had to pay to get care. People who didn’t have the money had to rely on charity from the Church in order to get healthHealth is when you are free of injury, and physically and mentally well. Healthy eating means... care.
