I live in Alberta.
My Alberta Healthcare is covered because I am a student (although it should be noted that I'm an adult (24) student). I pay for a "B" class plan with Alberta Blue Cross, an insurance agency. It covers the non-Alberta Healthcare critcals; ambulance rides and hospital rooms, dental checkups and 80% of most dental work (fillings, caps, etc), 70% presriptions, eye appointments and 100% of contacts/glasses (from approved providers), and a few other misc things. Also get 14 days of international insurance per year, extra days $5 each. I pay $23 a month and it covers my fiancee for emergency stuff too (but she doesn't get the dental or vision care or prescriptions, unless its emergency). There is also allowance in my prescrition plan for birth control, but only 6 months worth per year, since I'm male.
All said, I think it is worth it for $275 a year. I feel pretty secure that I can get hurt accidently and not be bankrupt.
