0.11% of the population means about 36,000 Canadians come to the US of A for care each year.
Yea they're flocking over here
Myth: Canadians are paying out of pocket to come to the U.S. for medical care.Most patients who come from Canada to the U.S. for health care are those whose costs are covered by the Canadian governments. If a Canadian goes outside of the country to get services that are deemed medically necessary, not experimental, and are not available at home for whatever reason (e.g., shortage or absence of high tech medical equipment; a longer wait for service than is medically prudent; or lack of physician expertise), the provincial government where you live
fully funds your care. Those patients who do come to the U.S. for care and pay out of pocket are those who perceive their care to be more urgent than it likely is.
More than 1
MILLION Californians go to Mexico each year for healthcare.
With a Projected 1.6 Million Americans to travel JUST to Mexico this year.
The people that supposedly flocking to the USA for procedures are the rich,
or those that (as you state) are covered by Canada's Healthcare and Canada's shortage of High tech equipment.
