> Why the hell is Mexico sending its people here for medical services and drugs?<
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.

My father had internal bleeding and had to wait 4-5 hrs while all these Hispanics were being taken back to be treated. He was one of the last ones to be seen - there were about 50 people in the lobby when he got there and just a few when he was finally seen.
We need to bill Mexico and they need to PAY or start taxing all of the Western Union money going there.
