Explanation:

The Canada Health Act of 1984 was a significant piece of legislation. It aimed to strengthen the universal public health - care system. The first option is incorrect as it was not just about limited in - patient care. The second option is wrong because it was not just a recommendation but a legislative act. The third option is incorrect as the Act prohibited extra billing and "opting out" (contrary to what it states). The fourth option correctly describes the Act's role in changing the funding structure, prohibiting unethical practices (opting out and extra billing), and strengthening the universality of the system.

Answer:

The Act changed the funding structure of Canada's public health - care model, prohibited "opting out" and extra billing by physicians, and further strengthened the universal nature of the public health - care system in Canada.
