Don't employers in Canada give out some kind of supplemental insurance plans to cover these benefits?

Most do. But companies that are stingy with compensation are stingy with all forms of compensation. Supplemental medical benefits at low-paying Toronto tech jobs don't match the top companies in Silicon Valley, so a Toronto tech worker could easily spend more out of pocket for medical than one in San Francisco.

With accompanying payment structures and caps, yes.
