Supplemental Health Care Insurance is big business up here. Keep in mind the public system does not cover prescription drugs, also you pay extra for things like private hospital rooms, physiotherapy/chiropractic (depending on each province's rules), mobility aids and so on. So insurance to cover those extra costs exists and is big business. And just like the USA, sometimes it can be a group plan through your employer.
