Alberta is not Canada, but simply one province within Canada. Your blanket statements simply don't apply throughout.

Alberta healthcare premiums are paid out of oil royalties. The more Americans pay for oil, the better quality care Albertans receive. You want to place blame or want better healthcare in Alberta, drive the price of oil up through consuming more. It's that simple.

There are as many examples of Americans seeking work in Canada as there are of Canadians seeking American medical services. If not more. I don't know of anyone personally who went to USA for medical treatment. I do know a great many Yankees working here in Alberta. You're going to have to figure something out. But if you don't have employment, I don't see American healthcare working out very well.
