Also anecdotal, I had a situation in which I needed to get an MRI in 2020. While I was in Canada, the doctor quoted me about 6 months. I had to go to NYC for a week. While in NYC, I went to a walk-in clinic and they got an MRI scheduled for me the same day. With my US health insurance, I was out of pocket about $75 for the whole thing.
As much as Canadians like to crap on US healthcare, it does have its perks in certain situations.
