As I said, what you pay is what you get.

Here you pay big bucks, so quality service is expected.
So you have every right to sue if you don't get that.

However, in Canada, for such a cheap price, your rights are also limited.

You can talk about human rights all day long but at the end of the day everything costs money.
There's a difference between having the right to do something and having the resources to do something.
Surely you can demand better services from the medical staff, but before that we need to raise your MSP premium by 400%, build more hospitals and pay the doctors twice as much.

Who doesn't need to pay taxes?

The truth is that services have to be limited to control cost.  And don't blow things up by just looking at one rare incident.  How many such cases do you see each year?  Everybody makes mistakes.  If you want full compensation for every single error the doctors make, your MSP premium goes up.

Just look at how much Americans pay for malpractice law suits

Medical specialties with the highest premiums include obstetrics and anesthesiology. Insurance premiums for some doctors in high-cost states can reach $200,000 per year
