Provincial governments do not ration health care.

Yes, they do.

It is rationed
exactly as it is rationed in the USA: at the level of the individual
doctor or hospital (are they currently available to attend to your
needs?)

Nope. Provincial governments set the policies for their provincial plans,
which must comport with the federal plan. Moreover, the feds have absolute
power to dictate what services are covered.
