Also, Canadian hospitals have made deals with American hospitals to take care of their patients. The Canadian government pays them to do so. Why? Because some of the people along the board live in more remote areas and the US hospitals are far closer. It's that simple. Not everyone coming over the boarder is running from their UHC. This is the sort of thing that the Health Insurance Companies and Big Pharma spread as propaganda to get us to fear change. They want their bottom line and they want to hold us hostage.
