I'm just asking the question, Thomas. Why are so many Canadians coming to America for their healthcare needs if theirs is so much better?
There are close to 37 million people in Canada. This means roughly one tenth of one percent of them came to the US for medical care. Let's not pretend like they are flooding across the border.
