There are private options for lots of things in Canada, depending on the province.

Without data on what proportion of people are denied and what the consequences are, this isn’t a good faith argument.

On the flip side, cases that would get care in Canada are denied in the USA by private insurance. Private options are far outside the means of most people.

Yes, roughly 30% of health care in Canada, from dental care to cosmetic surgery, is privately funded.
