http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_tourism#Canada
Canada has entered the medical tourism field. In comparison to US health costs, medical tourism patients can save 30 to 60 percent on health costs in Canada.[53]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Canada#US_citizens_visiting_Canada_to_receive_health_care
Many US citizens purchase prescription drugs from Canada, either over the Internet or by traveling there to buy them in person, because prescription drug prices in Canada are substantially lower than prescription drug prices in the United States; this cross-border purchasing has been estimated at $1 billion annually
