From a dd who researches this too:
From Sweden via the Daily Kos

From Mexico via USA Today
I know for a fact that American MIDDLE CLASS ALIENS have been going down into Mexico to use the Mexican hospital and clinic system for at least 35 years. They know a good deal when they see it.
And the group of "key word searching trolls" can just go eat cement, which, in truth is all they will be left with when the real workers are all killed off by policies which such trolls support.
I know someone who does the "medical vacations" thing. It sounds very smart to me. I'll do it too if I someday am in a situation to need it and be able to plan for it.
ReplyDeleteIt does nothing to help poorer people, though.
I don't blame the people who have done these things in the past,so I say go for it. The rich families in Mexico have been caught getting hypper expensive procedures, like kidney replacements, here, in the past and on the public dole.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that the politicians, those with their nose rings firmly attached to the health industry's fat cat middleman's watch chain, will suddenly become human and display love for something other than money.
Furthermore, let's hope this massive sea change - in this, the wealthiest nation in the world - occurs before the working people, and those who have been forced into, or born into, poverty all die of preventable diseases or conditions.
