Knowledge on Canadian Healthcare

Hi All

Could someone help me? I am planning on returning to Canada after living in the UK. As I was a child and teen growing up in Canada I never really paid much attention to healthcare and costs of my type 1 diabetes as I was covered in my parent's private healthcare.
Could someone just tell me how it works now? is is diffuclt to get healthcare for a chronic condition? What do other Canadians do? or has anyone got a good website which explains more?

Thanks
Kathryn
