Universal Sickness Care - and it ain't exactly FREE. Big Pharma do not want you healthy. Dental is not covered, along with a lot else. And good luck getting to see a doctor or specialist without a massive wait. That's why people here go elsewhere if they can afford it. Be your own Bank. Be your own Doctor. NOBODY else has your best interests at heart.

Dental isnt covered unfortunately but if you take care of your teeth you will be good. Needing serious medical coverage is a much more random and expensive event than dental.

I saw a doctor yesterday. Walked right into one of the many "walk-in clinics" scattered everywhere and within 10 minutes I was seeing one, for free.

The specialist I saw twice in 2017 wont fucking leave me alone, keeps calling me for follow ups.

Dont believe any of the BS they feed you south of the border. There is a reason the rest of the developed world has universal healthcare: it works. It isnt perfect but for the vast majority of people its the best solution. If a Canadian desires they can obtain private healthcare, one can even go to the US and 80-90% of it is covered by insurance.

Private healthcare will always be more expensive then public. Simple economics, If you have a serious illness your demand for healthcare is indefinite, and the supply is pretty much fixed, so the price will basically be what you can afford to pay. That is, as much as they can possibly get you to pay.
