The most sensible alternative to the horrors of Obamacare are boiled down to one thing: set up an American created and run medical enclave just south of the border in Mexico.

To start with, the enclave would work on a cash basis, no insurance, USG funding, or other such expensive nonsense. As has been seen in the US, cash only medical care is only half as expensive.

It would have a much better legal environment to operate in, lots of qualified, English speaking Mexican medical personnel and support staff, with American physicians and surgeons, much less expensive pharmaceuticals and medical equipment.

It would also be in a secure area, to keep out riff raff from both sides of the border. American built hospitals and accommodations, and likely a nursing home housing area for rehabilitation and extended care (at just a fraction of the US cost).

All told, it would be a win-win, for everybody but the socialist Obamacare types.

You might not be aware but medical tourism is already well established and growing.

Several Central American countries have already established close relationships with established American medical institutions and have built hospitals. Also, you don't have to pay cash. International health insurance is offered by several companies.

One recommendation I would offer is drop your insurance in the USA, buy an international plan, establish a relationship with a Doctor who has admitting privileges at a hospital you like and in the event something bad happens and you can't leave the USA buy insurance from an exchange on the way to a hospital. I doubt most people will do this, but some will and 15 years from now we will read stories about how "unfair" it is that they have better healthcare.

Exactly my prediction after Obama was re-elected.

There already is one in Ensenada, called “Adios Cancer” and it is an astounding success.
