People go to Cuba for medical treatments.
In Canada, sometimes people go elsewhere so they don't have to wait, sometimes its because the treatment isn't available. Either way, they're doing it outside the system for one reason or another. This is not a unique kind of circumstance, and it in no way suggests that universal health care is a failure or doesn't work adequately to maintain a healthy population.
As will suggested, it's the exception, not the rule.
