I wonder if everyone wanting to sue in America and high malpractice insurance costs might be a reason we pay more with less quality of care in America? I mean sure if you get hurt, you want some sort of recourse but I wonder if that's why American medicine is so high.
A lot of the full time RV community parks and walks over to Los Algodones, Mexico for eye care/glasses, dental and some medicines that aren't a certain schedule they can get and are allowed to take back a certain amount. They pay cash directly, no insurance is needed.
I guess they don't drive because of needing a separate auto insurance policy for Mexico. I believe most US policies cover only Canada, but not Mexico for trips across the border. Plus it might be quicker to just walk back and forth for a day trip. There's a official border crossing back and forth on foot for pedestrians, compared to cars which has a lot longer line.
However I'm not too sure what kind of recourse you have if a dentist or some other doctor messes up. Haven't researched it too much personally. There's some YouTube videos about it though, they have like a entire block of just dental offices back to back. Kinda amazing, but it's a popular area for medical tourism. A lot of them even speak English in that town, accepts US dollars and everything. Some people just visit for lunch and check out the town.
