I'm Canadian, and I don't know anyone who goes to the USA for treatment.
I suppose there are people who want to have a knee replacement in two weeks rather than wait two months.
In that case, if they are wealthy, perhaps they have the surgery done in the US?
Please see CFrance's information below.

When we are living in our Villages home for six months, we buy a comprehensive travel insurance policy to cover us for critical illnesses.
If I were able to travel, I would fly back to Canada for treatment.
If I need to see a doctor for a minor problem, or have an allergy shot, I pay cash (rates are much lower for self-payers).

I will quote part: 99.39% of Canadians do not come to the US for medical care.
