Do I need private health care coverage when traveling within Canada?

If you are American and you do not have private health insurance, or travellers insurance, be prepared to pay for health care if you need it while travelling in Canada. If you are Canadian, you can travel from province to province (or territory) and be covered by your provincial health insurance.

I just want to expand on bracas5's reply. If you are Canadian you are likely covered by your province when traveling to another BUT not definitely. I am currently taking an OHIP billing course and I learned that Quebec does not follow this.
