As Alaskans, many of us travel through Canada regularly and so some do manage to experience health care as Americans in Canada. All comments I've heard from Alaskans have been positive.

In talking with Canadians about their health care, the biggest difference does seem to between provinces. Those that have the smallest population seem to speak the most favorably. Otherwise it sounds from here as though those who have incomes that allow other, additional means of access to health care are fairly happy with it.

Thanks, Meredith, for posting the potential pitfall that might be coming up for any Canadians here who might be unaware of it and without a safety net due to the chronic and expensive nature of the disease.
