This is on top of a 46% marginal income tax rate and 12% sales tax.
I don't know what the BC plan is like, but in Manitoba if I didn't have any coverage through my employer I'd be paying for almost everything except visiting a doctor or ER. And you're still stuck in a line to see specialists. It's not unheard of to schedule an appointment with a specialist a year out.

People with true emergent cases are seen quickly. You may not, but it's probably because it's not an emergency.
