Canada is generally more expensive and taxes more (especially when you factor in sales taxes and such).

To be honest, I am amazed that Canada has a healthcare system left.

Decades of mismanagement and underinvestment aside, almost any Canadian healthcare worker can cross the border and instantly see a substantial pay bump and increase in QoL.

I do imagine within the next 20 years, Canadian healthcare is going to look vastly different. Like something from an emerging market, where sure there is universal healthcare, but you generally avoid it if you have the means.

Already happened. It's impossible to get a primary care physician in the Maritime provinces and in BC.
