And Americans go to Canada to get health care too.

We’re right next to each other. It happens a lot. Doctors send people to where they can get the best care. And US citizens hop across the border to Canada to get free health care, as well.

Interesting social point: The Canadians voted Tommy Douglas, the politician most responsible for for the Canadian health care system, the greatest Canadian in history.

hopping a border to get what is free or what is not permitted in the US is a much different discussion than hopping the border to get a serious procedure, although i think it highlights the [current] strengths and weaknesses of each system quite nicely.
