The cost is great. The quality is hit and miss at times, but you can always upgrade (if you live in a decent-size city). Until recently, I was a member of a private clinic which offered perks the public system didn't have (the doctor takes more time, access to a nutritionist and so on). But times are tight so I am back to 100% public (with the exception of a supplemental drug plan I pay $60 per quarter for).
I think public healthcare is a no-brainer; if for no other reason than the economy - the numbers don't lie, there is a massive economy of scale in public healthcare.
