"what is generally acknowledged to be comparable quality healthcare"

Generally acknowledged by whom?

According to the WHO, Mexico boasts a life expectancy of 76.7 years and Panama 77.8 v. the United States 79.3 and Switzerland 83.4.

Mexico and Panama are probably just fine for most routine, everyday health care. I wouldn't hesitate to visit.

But I doubt doubt you can get the same treatment results in Mexico that McCain is getting for his glioblastoma at the Mayo Clinic.

Hi, Sooth2222. The writer wasn’t talking about the overall Mexican healthcare system for the average Mexican or the average Panamanian healthcare system for the average Panamanian— that would be stupid and of course, the system in the US overall is better. He was talking about the system experienced by the expats.

Oh, I think you’d get the exact same treatment results for glioblastoma at the Mayo Clinic and any Clinic in Mexico. The treatment may be different, but the result will be the same.
