Yeah,. insurance i think is usally $300-400 USD/month for similiar coverage in the States.
Also, as someone who works in healthcare, there is little evidence that for 90% of conditions a few hours (or days or months, or the relative unit of measure) makes a difference.
Canadian emergency rooms make sure to see stroke victims, serious accident victims, and other serious contditions (heart attacks, failures, etc) immediately, pushing others back in line. While it is frustrating for the person waiting (who when quized usually thinks they have been waiting 3 times longer then they actually have been) there is little to no effect.
This is one large reason Canadians tend to live longer, have fewer babies die, etc. People are more likely to go to a doctor (because it is 'free') and the wait makes no difference other then to their patience and nerves....
