Turns out, according to an actual study, less than one tenth of one percent of Canadians come to the US for medical care.

That is probably about the percentage of Canadians that can afford to pay for it ---

I lived in canada for 35 years. The health care system there provide emergency services to all Canadians. However, if you want elective surgery, you have to wait for it, sometimes for years.

So if you have a car accident, your life will be saved. But if you want the leg fixed that was injured in the car accident, so you can walk on it again, you will have to join a waiting list. And you can wait for 2 or 3 years. Then all the relatives of doctors and surgeons, don't wait. They get inter provincial referrals to med school buddies , and the waiting list is circumvented by the privileged few. Thats how a socialist system works.

Universal Health Care is not universal, and anyone who thinks it can be is a flaming idiot.

Americans would never be able to live with such a system.
