with the healthcare that people have in canada people will literally die before they see a doctor, which is why canadians come here if they have something serious

That's just not true. You can find examples online of that happening, sure, but it's by no means the norm. People in Canada are treated in order of "importance". If you are complaining of minor knee problems, you'll probably get dropped down the priority list if someone comes in with a work injury that requires an immediate MRI and likely surgery.

What is a lot more common is minor things going untreated for longer than they should and becoming more problematic. That's a serious issue and that main reason to want to shorten wait times. But we very rarely just let people die.

The people who go to the US for care are often there because they have a minor (in the grand scheme of things) issue, and they are fine with paying a fee to get it dealt with immediately rather than waiting their turn.
