In Tijuana we met and spoke to LOTS of Americans "with means" who were there having surgeries done. They weren't there because they had a bad accident...but they were there by choice having face lifts, breast implants, eye lifts, etc.
The doctors there were U.S. trained and schooled...and ours was a U.S. citizen whose home was in San Diego.
The govt., the medical industry, and the insurance companies all held hands and have fucked us over BIG time on medical costs in the U.S.
And just like everything else...we're always told that we are "the best".
And we just may have some of the best research hospitals in the world. But on a day to day basis in every town in the U.S.? I have my doubts that we are as good as the outrageous prices we pay.
