Canadians are not well informed about the true dollar costs of their health care, which is why the system gets abused and is in debt.

She mentions "wait times" in her article, which is not a fallacy by any stretch of the imagination. I'm grateful for my health care coverage in Canada, but waiting a year to receive a cancer diagnosis (my doctor-ordered CAT scans were vetoed at the hospital because of costs; other critical tests required long wait times) is not OK. A US nurse practitioner friend told me such tests followed by surgery would have taken place within days in the US, not a year as my experience was in Canada. Then I had to wait almost 2 months to receive chemo, because of backlogs.  

And recently, I listened to a group of 30-somethings lamenting about their inability to get access to a regular doctor let alone a specialist. The BC town I was recently visiting has over 10,000 people who cannot get a doctor. This system needs drastic change!
