This is again the problem with anecdotal evidence. Everything I've seen points to costs and care being relatively similar between insured U.S. people and Canadians. At least those in good health who have occasional mishaps. The question is in the specialized medicine. When you have Canadian officials flying to the U.S. for heart surgery and cancer you start to wonder. The same can be said for the relatively large industry of U.S. insurers who sell policies to Canadians. Again, that stuff might not mean anything but it points out the problem of anecdotal evidence.
