Correct me if I’m wrong, but Sarah Palin was born in 1964 and basic health care in Canada wasn’t socialized untilthe 70’s, was it?

The current system, as described under the Canada Health Act, came into existence in 1984. Prior to that, dating from the late 40s, were a number of other systems and funding plans, which also (and continue to) differ province to province. I have no idea offhand exactly when the Yukon Territory first instituted some sort of socialized medical care. Not that it particularly matters - then, as now, non-Canadians can access health care services in Canada, but will be billed for them.
