I know people who have lived in Florida for twenty years but they hang on to their Canadian residency in order to preserve their health care. I know Floridians who make an annual trip to Canada in order to buy prescription drugs. There has got to be a better way to do health care, especially if it can improve competitiveness,

I have several Canadian friends who have explained their Medical shuffle. They travel back to Canada for the expensive stuff, if it’s not life threatening, or requiring high levels of quality/skill. For all the important stuff, they use US sources. That goes for drugs too.

Uh, let's think about this. They are Canadian citizens and don't qualify for Medicare. Yeah, it's gonna be expensive for them because they didn't pay into the system, but by their residence they choose to let the superior US system care for them. So if they really get sick, they stiff FLA for their complex medical care and run back to Canada for their cheap drugs. This is a group of moochers we don't need. They didn't pay into the US system, so why should we give them care without their paying for it?

BTW, I'm sure we can get some one-way bus tickets for them to go back and stay back in Canada.
