We spend a lot as well, it's just we pay it in taxes and the government pays the $13,300 per household. In some provinces you also have to pay monthly for a medical plan. It's cheaper than the US system but it's also not as good because there are waiting lists for most things and people die on those lists. The cancer may have been treatable when the person was added to the list, but cancer doesn't wait for anybody. What it is is fair though, available to all regardless of if they're working or not.
It's likely my mother would have died, for different shortcomings of the medical system if she had still lived in Canada. Fortunately she's in the developing world now and received affordable, correct, and timely care.
