Yes, you're right. The Canadian health care system, though a good one on the whole, does have some deficiencies. This could probably be said of any nation's health care system. There are always some improvements that can and shoud be made.

For example: We badly need public health insurance to cover the costs of dental care.

And that's just one area in need of improvement.
