  `Re medical tourism. Wiki offered: A McKinsey and Co. report from 2008 found that between 60,000 and 85,000 medical tourists were traveling to the United States for the purpose of receiving in-patient medical care.[65] The same McKinsey study estimated that 750,000 American medical tourists traveled from the United States to other countries in 2007 (up from 500,000 in 2006).

  Just to clarify a point. 15% is just the number of Americans that do not have private health insurance. I believe as I am sure you do, that all Canadians should be covered for all their needs, not just health care. I believe the best way of achieving that is to have a Guaranteed Annual Income FOR THE POOR. Then the poor can live more like the rest of Canadians. 
  
  Under that system taxpayers would be providing help for about 15% of the population, not 100%. I suspect that provinces could handle that on their own .
