And as the poster above you mentioned American health care is the most advanced in the world. So even if it is “double” the types of treatments available here are much better.

I’ve had friends travel here just to get treated.

And a million+ Americans in border states travel to Mexico for routine procedures and prescriptions [0].

I imagine the numbers would be even higher if more Americans lived within travel distance of the southern border.

Most medical services are routine treatments that are the same wherever you go.People travel for special services, but special services don't represent most of that cost difference.

"Most advanced in the world" to only 70% of Americans is a failed system.
