There are better ways to service the country and the province with proper medical services.

Usually the argument would be Canada vs USA health care systems.  One might suggest that if the tax dollars that are collected to fund the health care were used to fund a private insurance policy, your family would be able to have more prompt and perhaps a higher level of care.

If you have the means, the US system works very well.  If you are not covered by your employer, yes, it is a road to financial difficulties.
