There are still private insurance companies that will cover things not normally covered by the provincial plans. Drugs would be another good example of something not universally covered (depending on drug). Drugs are, however, price controlled in many cases. My sister has asthma, and has to pay a lot for inhalers; thus, working somewhere with health coverage is still a big concern for her. Quebec always tends to do things a little differently, but I'm surprised at this because in general they cover more things publicly, not less. I'm betting that the province would only cover "long term" disability.
