That's incorrect. The benefits I receive have nothing to do with my insurance or my salary.

Autism support in Canada falls into this "blip." Unfortunately, it's not as easy as going to a private doctor. Just because you need services now doesn't mean you can pay to get it, even if you had the money.
Sorry, but the idea that there are no benefits to the US system over the Canadian system is simply false. In my case, the US was cheaper, faster, and superior in ever way.
What I was lucky to have was the ability to make that decision to move. Canadians generally don't have that choice.
