Healthcare
Alberta covers medically necessary care through AHCIP. That is provincial insurance, not a US-style premium quote, and this page does not have a wait-time number for Edmonton.
Against a US paycheck
Uprootmap's US pages subtract federal and state tax, then rent. This page does not run a Canadian tax return. Use the CRA rates if you need the paycheck, and the rent above if you need the housing line.
