Considering that MSP is free now that seems kinda silly. The opt-out provision only gets you out of the old $59 dollar a month fee. It does not get you out the 30% of your taxes or whatever you pay into our shitty health care system.
I think you will have a hard time finding a private plan that covers you in Canada. You would be better off to purchase a private global health plan (much cheaper if you exclude the USA) designed for expats and travel to Thailand or whatever when you need cancer treatment (Bumrungrad Hospital is fucking awesome).
Assuming you are single you are looking at 3-5 grand for a good global plan. Sorry I know nothing about kids or family plans.
