I can tell you what it's like in Mexico...

In Reply to: yes, but did you hear that this clinic is now - newbie
I've been to the clinic w/ my hubby before when he was sick...the facilities are overcrowded, you can't make appointments, and they give antibiotics for EVERYTHING. One doctor told my husband that he had a bacterial infection w/o even taking cultures. This is the place you go when you have insurance, by the way. The private practices are better, but I'm not sure how much better.
I personally will NOT go to the doctor here except in emergency!!!

What about Mexico?
Mexico is our neighbor next door and how would you feel if they started shipping our transcription to Mexico, just like it goes to India? Would you then feel the same way about your Canadian neighbors? It's just something to think about--not trying to start a ruckus here.
WVM Mexico for one
treats you like crap if you do not understand them even if you are a tourist. I am talking outside of the "touristy areas", the real Mexico that is two blocks behind the waterfront hotels?? I have been there three times for a month each time and I was not an American tourist. I was there with my Mexican husband living and interacting amongst the REAL PEOPLE who live there, not the ones working in the tourism industry. They are no different than here. The business interactions are worse but instead of me boo hooing, I understood exactly where they were coming from. It is no different when we are in other people's countries especially if you want to become a citizen there. Their rules are so much stricter than ours in most other countries and that is the way it should be.. We are not strict enough at all here. It's is awful some of the people we accept here as Citizens who are unwilling to assimilate. I can't stand reading all of this. It makes me sick how ignorant some of you all sound. I did not expect so many negative reactions to the original poster. It actually scares me here the ignorance. Why don't you get out of this country for awhile and see what the rest of the world is like!!! Same with Canada!! They treat you different there too because they know when you are an American. We stand out like a sore thumb up there!! I did not get offended and I have been up there several times because I used to live in Washington state. However, I bet if you assimilated and adapted to their culture as well that they would welcome you. So this has nothing to do with race or anything else like that!!!
This might work in Mexico
This might work in Mexico, since all (yes, ALL) gas stations are owned by the same company. But in the US...no way. There are too many companies, the hurt wouldn't be big enough even if you could get it going on a national level.

Mexico is a 3rd world country-- that's why all of them are here

she was in Mexico for treatment for cancer, BUT...
From what I heard on GMA a few days ago, the clinic she was in was deplorable. There was even an article about it on the Watchdog website, AND the man running the clinic was NOT a doctor. So, what does that say about the person or persons who took this woman there for treatment?
There is no apparent accountability in Mexico.
Many people go there as a last resort, when all traditional treatment has failed. I think it was Steve McQueen who went there for "coffee enemas". I've never heard a success story yet. I don't think it speaks bad our healthcare system, although Lord knows it needs fixing. Have you ever watched the news when they are in third world countries and you have 20 patients in the same room, no equipment, usually only the most basic medications, little if any skilled medical personnel. When I was in Brazil years ago, they had 2 woman in labor in the SAME bed.
OUTSOURCE OF DMV RECORDS TO MEXICO
Check this out - it seems that the outsourcing is growing and growing. Now the DMV in Orange County, California is outsourcing to Mexico. It seems they are blaming the media for publicizing this, but not admitting to the potential for danger that this poses. See the link below:

Her life in Mexico is irrelevant. She is still an

I don't understand your question at all. She was being treated in Mexico
so what does that have to say about the US? Makes no sense.
