Canadians dying while on medical wait lists reaches five-year high, report finds
Canadians with the financial ability to do so have been pouring across the border to the USA and paying for cancer treatments, heart surgeries, hip replacements—you name it—for decades.

Statista estimates about 2 percent of us leave the country annually to buy foreign health care, with hip replacement hospitals and clinics in places close to the border such as Whitefish, Montana, apparently prospering.
