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.
Even when covered by the mother's insurance, they may get their own deductible and max OOP.
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.
It works the other way too, many Americans travel to Canada to buy medication.https://kutv.com/amp/news/get-gephardt/americans-are-traveling-to-canada-to-save-money-on-medication
So true. My wife's grandfather needed to wait weeks for some emergency heart scans that happen within hours in any NY hospital.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.
