Both Americans and Canadians are eying each other’s health system:
“Canadians traveling to the U.S. for care are doing this because they can’t get timely care in Canada and they are concerned about their health risks. They are prepared to pay and the U.S. seems close to home’ and has a good clinical reputation,”says Copeman. “On the other hand, individuals leaving the U.S. for health care simply want to save money, since the cost of U.S. care is very high relative to most countries.”
