re: #405 Obdicut

Canada has world-class doctors and world-class hospitals. US citizens go to Canada for serious procedures as well as hop the border.

Many Americans are going to other places, too— like Thailand and even India— even for serious issues, because the cost differential is so high, and, if insurance won’t cover costs, is the only financially viable option.

from your link…

Some Canadians and Europeans said they chose to travel aboard, despite having national health plans, because they are tired of waiting — sometimes years — for treatment.

Americans aren’t going to Canada for serious procedures because the doctors, facilities, and wait times are better in Canada. Period.
