    I read some senator or congress-person suggested before about doing medical tourism instead. Like you go visit Spain or Norway to get your knee or spine fixed for cheap.

    This is the most Patrick Starr™ solutions I’ve ever heard for medical care.

      Mexico has a large medical tourism industry. Mostly for dental but other things too.

      You can go on a ferry and get a nice vacation in a fairly tropical area, and get your needs met medically and go home for less than it would cost in the states with insurance.
