I'm a Canadian that moved to the US. My wife has bilateral hip dysplasia. One side was corrected in Canada, and the other side was corrected after we moved to the US. We have great health insurance here
In both instances, wait time for appointments and surgery was the same, standard of care was actually better in Canada, she had a team of orthopedic surgeons vs in the US she had one surgeon and a handful of nurses and so forth.
But the US hospital had a better food menu, so there's that I guess...
