RE: Tens of thousands of Canadians cross the border to get medical care in the US every year because they can’t get what they need in Canada.

I am not going to dispute the fact that Canadians are coming to the USA for their procedures because they don’t want to wait.

But where are you getting the “tens of thousands” figure from? I just want a reliable source for this.

THis look like a fairly detailed study (clickable):

.... patients travelling abroad to receive medical treatment may relate to the long waiting times they are forced en - dure in Canada’s health care system. In 2015, patients could expect to wait 9.8 weeks for medically necessary treatment after seeing a specialist—almost 3 weeks longer than the time physicians consider to be clinically “reasonable” (7.1 weeks).
