Virtually no difference between the healthcare except the cost.
Only in some very rare occasions is it worth going to the US to get care, and those situations usually only revolve around medical trials and very rare or new procedures.

Not true. Lots of Canadians come to the US for care when they need a specialist or have to have surgery. I know people in England that are on a two year waiting list to see a specialist. I am sorry but universal healthcare is only going to make us all wait longer to see doctors. There are doctors threatening to retire if this passes. We already have a doctor shortage. I don't remember heathcare being a right. I guess owning a car and a house should also be rights and not privileges.
