I don't think this article is accurate, as in always that way. It might have to do with how and when you set up your child's insurance.

Most countries with socialized medicine have long wait times to get procedures.  And waiting for diagnostic tests, surgery, etc is not "getting as good healthcare for typical stuff."
My father was in Montreal when he broke his hip at a wedding.  An immediate conference of American and Canadian machers advised that it would take all night in the Emergency Room just to get ex-rays, and likely days to have surgery.
So B"H for the machers present, we were able to transport  him to NY, where he had surgery by late  morning.  And B"H he's up and around.
You meant Maimonides?
In general there is some truth to what you're saying.

Even when covered by the mother's insurance, they may get their own deductible and max OOP.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Based on that article:

Quote
After giving birth, the newborn is covered for the first 30 days of their life as an extension of the mother under her policy and deductible.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

So true. My wife's grandfather needed to wait weeks for some emergency heart scans that happen within hours in any NY hospital.

It works the other way too, many Americans travel to Canada to buy medication.

That is not the other way. It is exactly what everyone has said. You can save money in Canada but the care is very inferior.

True, I guess I meant two sides of the same coin.

Drugs can be gotten for cheaper out of the USA if you don't have drug coverage in your health plan.
