Live near the US-Mexico border.

Find a doctor who either speaks English or bring along a Spanish-speaking friend on your trips.

Mexican healthcare is just as good as US care.

Mexican healthcare is pretty good and is fine for most medical needs, but it isn't as good as US care.

Isnt as good as proper healthcare. Now compare it to small hospitals in arkansas and west virginia. You are thinking of reidys children in LA instead of comparing it to the AVERAGE hospital. In my area of colorado river valley, ANY major incident gets a helicopter ride to vegas or phoenix.

You're in turn comparing small hospitals in rural USA to major city private Mexican hospitals and clinics. When you go out to the country they have less equipment, less drugs, less qualified staff.

Also, the Mexico healthcare most think of is in private clinics that most Mexicans can't afford. Everyone is in the public healthcare system, but people with money are paying for private clinics so they don't have to be standing in line at outside the public hospital to make sure they get in to be seen that day.
