I googled a lot of this up a couple of years back. Not only Mexico. EVERY country in the world is drastically cheaper for medical procedures than the U.S.
Google up medical tourism in India. You'll see the prices and shit yourself. And those guys are in many ways ahead of us technologically and medically.
Also from what I've read...many, many stars in Hollywood and other assorted millionaire jet setting types all go down to South America for their plastic surgery (Brazil for instance) because it's 10 times cheaper and the plastic surgeons are more advanced.
For instance breast implants...doctors in Brazil are the masters of the "gummy bear" silicone implant that is still under "study" by the U.S., it's the safest one out there because it's a solid implant that can't rupture or leak. It was allowed in the U.S. for a year or two to "study". Meanwhile the surgeons in Brazil have been doing it for women around the world for almost two decades. That is just one example of how far behind we are. A superior procedure done by skilled surgeons at half the price that U.S. doctors do it using an outdated procedure.
