Having grown up middle class in Canada, I don't know anybody that went to America for "major surgery". Generally speaking where that does happen is with elective surgery, because wait times can be long in some places. Those people are usually not middle class either, I don't know many middle class Canadians with $40k on hand to drive down to the states for surgery.
