And I would like to see some facts to back up your statement about Canadians flocking to the US for medical care. Because according to this site, that is the #1 myth about Canadian healthcare. Canada vs. US Health Care Systems - Debunking Canadian Health Care Myths - AARP

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

First, I do not believe anything AARP says, they were started by Colonial Penn Insurance ways back to sell health insurance. They do not support my values and were not interested in fixing WPO and WEP that limits SS to spouses of retired Feds.
I see facts on the ground.

When my mother was sick, she always had to leave the Hospital still not being able to breathe well because of Medicare. Then she had to be readmitted. I was not allowed to use by late Father's insurance to cover the two days. She may have lived much longer. Keep Government out of control of Healthcare.
