Covid death rates are a terrible argument for any health care system as it has a lot more to do with policy and social norms than anything else. Zimbabwe kicked Canada's ass on that stat:
COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country - Wikipedia so by your logic Canada's health care is worse than third world healthcare. The fact is most of these outcomes are not 100% tied to any health care system and if you look at it with more closely you will see things like Canada outcomes are not that much different than Minnesota outcomes, which is a vastly better comparison for obvious reasons.
Canada's problems are well known, satisfaction surveys always show issues. Th But here is the thing, if it is so great why does supplemental insurance even exist? Why can the rich buy front of line service? why no vision? Looks a LOT like American medicare which is terrible, where anyone who can afford it buys supplemental. I feel sorry for Canadians, I would not want to be forced into that awful system when I can afford better. That's why you do in fact have private health insurance.

Total Cost Of Health Coverage In Canada
The average person in Canada, as stated before, pays about $2000 Canadian money for universal healthcare out of their taxes. Supplemental plans will cost, on average, about $4000 per person. In total, Canadians will pay about $500 Canadian money for
health insurance, of which about $330 per month will come out of pocket. For young people that are single, this could be a sizable investment, whereas older people with many medical problems will see this as a cost-effective solution.
Although many countries throughout the world offer universal healthcare, they will not always cover everything. Places like the UK have even more comprehensive policies that cover all appointments, treatments, and nearly every prescription drug you can get with a prescription. If you are in Canada, and you don’t go to the doctor that often, the universal healthcare that is free will likely be enough. However, you always have the option of getting supplemental Canadian health insurance that can help pay for expensive long-term health care, dental work, and prescription medications that you may need to use on a regular basis.
