I'm a Canadian seasonal resident in The Villages, from October to April each year.
Our Canadian medical system is absolutely wonderful ... no question about that!! All health care is free, including doctor's visits, yearly physicals, catscans, MRIs, etc. If you have a serious illness, you will immediately go to the "head of the line" and receive the very finest in medical care!
Canadians may have to wait a bit longer for "optional" operations such as hip and knee replacements. Wealthy Canadians sometimes opt to visit the US to pay for these procedures so they can have them immediately.
But if you have a heart attack, stroke, car accident, cancer, or any type of catastrophy ... the medical system is 100%! And I speak from personal experience.
