All I’ve heard for the past 30 years or so is that Americans go to Mexico for medical services, surgeries and drugs because they are cheaper there. Why the hell is Mexico sending its people here for medical services and drugs? Once the black robed tyrants have reopened the borders, hospital treatment in America will be impossible to get. We’ll all be going to Mexico.

Here, in Honduras, medical care is quite good and very inexpensive. The hitch is you have to actually pay for it.
A local friend hit a water truck with his motorbike. His leg suffered a nasty compound fracture. He was taken to the emergency room where they wrapped it up enough to control the bleeding. He would receive no other care until 15,000 Lempira ($600 USD) was paid. We paid it for him and he received quite good care. He has fully recovered and I get free haircuts for life.
That is what stabilizing care is defined as, not a private room, all types of medication, meals, surgery and a free ambulance ride.
I’m still steamed from my experience on the ER waiting room floor, with a herniated disc, and all of the chairs were taken by sniffling kids and their 7 family members.
