Medical Tourism
Kuro5hin features an interesting article on getting your teeth capped south of the border:
Once again we found tales of $120 caps, and of an entire industry catering to American medical tourists. In several places along the US-Mexico border, clusters of dentists operate within convenient driving distance so that an inexpensive bus tour from Las Vegas or a trolley ride from San Diego could bring you to where this cheap care was available.
I had no idea that there was so much business in medical tourism. I knew of the occasional sex change or plastic surgery in Thailand, but this is serious business. Maybe I can get those calf implants I’ve always dreamed of after all.
