If you’re smart or have health insurance: no.
Otherwise: yes.

I would like to sign a reciprocity agreement with you. If it gets too warm down south, come on up. If we get an ice age instead, we get to move south.

Well, I lived there for four years and personally knew friends who would have died had they had to wait to get treatment in Canada. Fortunately for them, Vermont was a 3 hour drive.

Do Americans envy Canada's healthcare system? Many Americans envy the illusion created in their minds of "free" healthcare in Canada.
Those same individuals have no clue that, when Canadian healthcare rationing puts a Canadian's life in jeapardy, that Canadian gets his @ss to an American medical center to get the timely healthcare that is being denied to him in Canada.

Yes, we envy being out on waiting lists for years for the most rudimentary of medical services.

Do Americans envy Canada's healthcare system? How many Canadians come the US to get treatment that they cant get (at least in a timely manner) at home? How many Americans head in the opposite direction for the same reason?
Case closed

If we get Hillary care, where will the Canadians ( and us ) go for good, prompt...care ?

The US waiting lines at “emergency rooms” for uninsured patients are shorter than the waiting lines at Canadian hospitals.
The greatest product of the Canadian health care system is the waiting line. Of course if you envy that, you can just wait 6 months, then show up at your doctor.

Americans in northern Florida in coats are apparently curious to see Canadians swimming in the ocean in the winter.
50 degree F water must have different perspectives ?
