Chris, sorry to hear about that. Honestly, in your case, if private insurance won't cover it, I have a huge doubt that a public healthcare system, such as the Canadian, will do anything about it. I, too, have experienced an overloaded, understaffed public healthcare system, so I know for a fact that, unless you're dying, they'll make you wait a long time and certain treatmens they'll tell you to get privately, because the public system doesn't cover them.
Shemp, way to liven up the thread.
