Many Americans Open to Mexico Medical Tourism
We asked if you ever have or ever would go to Mexico for lower-cost medical care.
Twelve percent of respondents have. Of the rest, half said they would never take the risk, and half said they might consider it if the price was right.
People seem far more willing to travel to Mexico for dental care than other forms of medical treatment.
Here are some comments from respondent about medical tourism and dental tourism:
- "Dental treatments are way too expensive to the patient compare to the costs of materials. DDS's charges are way out of line for the average American."
- "I have purchased prescription drugs there with wonderful results." (Texas woman)
- "I work with someone who has gone for minor surgery and it cost almost exactly 1/8th of the price that was quoted here in Texas."
- "I would not go ANYWHERE else for any of those procedures! Despite the Democrat's propaganda, the U.S. has the BEST health care in the world!" (Georgia woman)
- "I regularly buy prescription drugs in Mexico for fraction of US price.uy prescription drugs in Mexico." (California man)
- "They're cleaner, politer, helpful, sanitary than most places in Los Angeles. The top cities to do cosmetic or major surgery are Guadalajara and el Distrito Federal. By the way, 70% of the medical students at the University of Guadalajara are Americans. They do their studies there and pass the boards here." (California)
