Rob, I can tell you that none of the facilities I worked at (Sonoma County 
Community, Santa Rosa Memorial and NCRC) ever had a Canadian patient come 
down specificially for medical treatment.  We had Canadian patients who were 
here and had something happen but NEVER had any come here for specifically 
for medical treatment.

We did have one patient who was a dual citizen whose family was here come 
down to have a hip replacement because there was family to do the after 
care.
