I would have to think both are pretty well off. That's the thing with any of these anecdotes - very few people would willfully moving to the USA to put themselves into a worse situation.
My family could theoretically move to the US and be better off, healthcare costs included. If Alberta continues to regress into insanity, it may be a consideration for us (though US won't be much more appealing with another 4 yrs of Trump). We could go to BC and have a lower standard of living than here, or New Zealand/Australia/Europe...wherever we went it would likely come out close to a wash, all things considered.
I don't really have a point, other than if you're in the top 5% of income, you're going to be in the top 5% (give or take a % or 2) standard of living pretty much wherever you go...
