Canadians and other foreigners regularly troop to the US when they
have a critical medical need.

Wonder why?

If you've got money, the U.S. is probably the fastest and easiest place to get
any procedure you'd like, regardless of how complex or exotic.

If you don't have money... well, in the same film that Rich was referencing
("Sicko"), one storyline involves a young woman (I believe she's a college
student) who has cancer and, being uninsured, finds herself a "friend" in
Canada who's willing to call her his "domestic partner" and thereby get her
cancer drugs through the Canadian national healthcare system. While that's
clearly fradulent, I expect that many people in the same position would behave
similarly.
