"I'm very lucky to live near enough to Mexico to get good healthcare at a reasonable price."
Did North America flip upside down or something while I was away? Or did I step through a wormhole in the fabric of space-time and I'm reading the news from 2109? Since when did the answer to "Who is your health care provider?" become "Dr. Manny in TJ"?
This is a sad, sad statement on the United States.
On the bright side, medical tourism in developing countries is booming. Catch the fever! (Not literally catch one! I mean, you shouldn't catch anything as long as they boil their instruments for at least 3 minutes and they shoo the cats out of the OR.)
