I mean it says right here:
Quote:
“In some cases, these patients needed to leave Canada due to a lack of available resources or a lack of appropriate procedure/technology,” according to the Institute. “In others, their departure will have been driven by a desire to return more quickly to their lives, to seek out superior quality care, or perhaps to save their own lives or avoid the risk of disability.”
I actually have objectivity about this. I'm 28 years old (I know, ANCIENT on this board). I was born in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada and left when I was 10 in 1997. So I've lived in the US for over 18 years.
Still, I will say, especially after visiting Montreal and Toronto four years ago, that Canada is the superior country when it comes to ACTUAL QUALITY OF LIFE. But of course, America's position as the world's only superpower makes it a very glamorous and easy pick.

The number of Canadian patients who travelled abroad in 2014 to receive non-emergency medical treatment increased 25% from 2013, according to a study conducted by the Fraser Institute, a Canadian independent research and education organization.
In 2014, 52,513 Canadians travelled beyond our borders to seek medical treatment, compared with 41,838 in 2013. The numbers suggest that the Canadian health care system could not comply with the needs and demands of a substantial number of Canadian patients, according to the study.
The percentage of Canadian patients who travelled abroad to receive non-emergency medical care was 1.1 per cent, an increase compared to 0.9 per cent in 2013.
