It's ok. I'm Canadian, we pay 45%+ of our income in taxes, don't get dental or drug coverage included and still wait months to years for anything.
Oh, also no private option except flying to Mexico, the US or Europe for care.
Funny enough I got a surgery in Czech Republic (my wife's from there) because the wait time in Canada would have been 1.5 years. In CR, got it done in less than a week.
Edit - also dunno where you live, but we have a GP, a pediatrician (we have a toddler) and dentist in the CR. Took literally no time to find, but we're in a small town (when we are there).
Haven't had a GP in Canada in 10 years (since my old one retired)...
