This was several years ago, but Blue Cross was one of the several companies I looked at - the policies were pretty much the same across companies.
I ended up not getting any. The only thing I was looking for was dental, since most basic health care is covered by the province. The rates I found were around $2K a year, easily more than I would normally spend, and when I read the fine print, I couldn't get comparable dental coverage to my previous full-time job without having been paid in for 24 months.
