How many Canadians go to the U.S. for health care?​

While it’s not known exactly how many Canadians go to the U.S. for health care, according to a poll conducted by Ipsos in March 2024, 42% of Canadians would go to the U.S. and personally pay for routine health care if needed. That’s 10% more when compared to January 2023. Of those who responded, 38% said that they would travel to the U.S. for emergency care, a number that's up 9% from the previous year.

The stereotype is real! If you ever been to Turkey you've seen these clinics everywhere... And Dental and plastic surgery.

Some people really hate those stats.

Some people really hate those stats.

I would take those ‘stats’ with a large grain of salt. To quote the article ‘Unfortunately, there isn’t enough data for us to figure out if Canadians are really going to the U.S. for health care.’

They admit in their own article they don’t have accurate data, all they have is a poll.

Its just a fact of life.

Comparison shopping is all that it really is.

Its kind of a dirty little Canadian secret that if you can afford it or have the coverage you go to the US for serious health care, no ?

I dont think its a secret. My comment was more about the timing of fox picking up a story from 3 years ago this week.

Ahhh, giving new meaning to the old 'Turkish Delight'

Almost a combined total of 1 billion people.

Canada’s trade minister said on Tuesday that negotiations on separate free trade agreements with the Philippines and ASEAN are more than 90-per-cent complete, with Ottawa pushing to have both deals ready by the time Prime Minister Mark Carney visits Manila in November.

Energy being the (current) biggest draw.

Sidhu said energy was Canada’s biggest offering to Southeast Asia, pointing to the country’s growing LNG export capacity as regional economies seek to diversify fuel supplies and shield themselves from geopolitical disruptions.

He said Canada has more than five LNG projects in various stages of development on its Pacific coast, all geared toward supplying Asian markets.

Canada nearing free-trade deals with the Philippines, ASEAN block, Trade Minister says

Ottawa’s push to deepen ties with Southeast Asia was already on the agenda and not primarily driven by U.S. trade policy, Sidhu says

According to this article, about 1.4 million Americans travel out of country for healthcare. With us it seems to be timeliness more than availability, with them it seems more about cost.

I originally supported MAID and still do in certain cases. But I don't like it being pushed seemingly as an alternative to medical treatment.

I'm curious as well. It seems information packages are produced by Health Canada. Is somebody mailing them out to random people? Is her family doctor handing them out?

any agreement that is dependent on LNG or oil is absolutely useless until they start laying pipe. Have they started the review process yet 'cause that will take a year and then at least 5 years to lay the pipe. At least Kitimat has the nod.

Dangling something shiny to get him to back off the trade war?

He said this should apply not just to potash but all ingredients used to make fertilizers, including ammonia.

“That would be good for Canadian farmers. It would be great for American farmers, and it’s an opportunity we’re prepared to explore,” the Prime Minister said.

So urea, ammonia, sulfur, and nitrogen based fertilizer that are al byproducts of oil refining and natural gas processing via the Haber-Bosch process.

Oh hey, two of the things Canada is trying to grow and expand.

Canada and U.S. should form self-reliant bloc for fertilizer, Carney suggests

The Prime Minister voiced the proposal after Trump toyed with switching to Belarus as a supplier of potash

It’s not accurate to say Nitrogen fertilizers are ‘byproducts’ of natural gas production. They aren’t. Nitrogen fertilizer production consumes natural gas, and requires pretty significant infrastructure. It’s a deliberate choice to leverage cheap and abundant natural gas to meet industrial need. While Canada does have Sulfur as a byproduct of oil production, and that makes its way to some fertilizer as a cheap input, that’s very separate.

There’s nothing about us expanding natural gas production that would necessarily result in more nitrogen based fertilizer. If there’s a business case to be made for another fertilizer supply chain in Canada along side more NG production because the NG will be right there and cheap, great; but if that’s the case, it could be done right now if it priced out profitably.

I'd like to see us explore if there's a business case to ramp up our Helium production in Alberta/Sask.
