And you couldn’t just board a plane to Mexico or anywhere down south and get the job done for half the price including said flight? People keep complaining but don’t realize that no place is perfect in this world.

Some places are significantly worse than all others in the same wealth class though.

Somebody further up quoted such insane numbers - $750 for a proper periodontal cleaning? That's usually ~50 to 80€ in Germany. For a _full_ self payer.

Those prices and the health system creating them are utter insanity.

What an asinine response.
Seriously. "Just"
Why though? You demand a service that you can get cheaper abroad. You can’t change the health system but you can travel to a socially developed country that hasn’t yet fallen victim of corruption
A same day flight to Mexico is $1000 where I live. Other countries seem to have figured out healthcare. The US can too.
It might be able to, but only after passing legislation to control guns and protect school children from being victims of daily school shootings
