Do people in Texas go shopping in Mexico?

People in California (and probably elsewhere) go to Mexico for dental
work and other medical procedures. I wish I'd felt like going to the
Costco in Tijuana.

Amazing. All medical treatment is paid for by the taxpayer here.

A goodly amount of medical treatment is paid for by US taxpayers too;
unfortunately, the non-taxpayers are the ones who receive it.

Yes but the arrogant people in this country don't want mandatory health
insurance for all !!!

When auto liability insurance was mandated in California, prices went
up. When the only competition is among providers, with no 'none of the
above' option available, there is no reason to keep prices low. There
are also health-insurance regulations such that you can't get a
"high-deductible" policy with a higher deductible than $5K and the
premium is not dirt cheap. Want one with a $25K deductible for 1/5 the
price of the $5K deductible plan? Tough luck, frugal citizen, you can't
have that.

People go to India for cosmetic surgery here (UK) Not covered by the
tax payer usually.

Likewise Mexico. Likewise for dental work. Snowbirds travel from Maine
to Mexico in the winter for medical and dental and pharmaceutical
bargains.

Well some of the ugly ones do.

You mean you have an Ugliness Panel not unlike the proposed US Death
Panel?

No answer?
