. However the US has always been the country where people flew in for really complicated health matters if they could afford it. Maybe this will change in favor of another country, but I am sure top quality medicine has a strong correlation to the degree of freedom in that country.

The US has been the country where people flew in because where else are they going to go? The other advanced health care systems are public systems so you have to be a citizen or permenent resident to use them. That may start to change a little some advanced countries considering medical tourism, although there are a lot of legal issues to work out in each country. Ironically the largest group of medical tourists by far is americans.

So you are saying you believe that only .1% of canadians needing health care can afford health care outside of canada? I don' t know about that. What are you basing this on?
