It's not off topic...it is simply one of the reasons for the drop in Winter Texans in the Valley. Some folks are getting older, and as a result the cost of health care for Canadians is prohibitive.
There are other reasons as well, this is simply one of them.
I'm scratching my head on this one! Doesn't everyone in Canada basically age at the same rate? If so, aren't there people who used to be younger and not in the Winter Texan crowd now older and thus potentially new Winter Texans? Aging would explain why those individuals who used to winter in Texas no longer do so, but I don't think it explains a statistical drop in the number of Winter Texans coming from Canada (or anyplace up north).
