They don’t let you have a private plan in Canada

[muawiyah]

There are, interestingly enough, private medical insurance plans to cover medical care not provided in their universal health care system.

That would include dentistry, boob jobs, face lifts (hear that Nancy, that sort of thing is not free), and probably all that other stuff insurers and HMOs in the US won't cover either.

Turns out the Canadian "universal health care system" really isn't universal, and doesn't cover things that are important to your career.
