Having used healthcare in a wide variety of settings, super-deregulated private healthcare in countries like India, Mexico, etc. is vastly superior to government-run healthcare or the US's red-tape-choked "private" healthcare system.

I just pay for everything under the table with cash and it's much cheaper. If doctors can avoid American "insurance" providers (which are not allowed to function as actual insurers, and have to keep margins up by being as stingy as possible), they can save a lot of money and effort.
