Remember to question your assumptions. "The Amish health care system" is like saying "The Christian church system". Amish communities can vary greatly, as does their income, transportation, diets, lifestyle, etc. The only time I've ever gone to Fogo de Chão in downtown Philly on a Friday night, a large Amish family was eating nearby. > For people who rarely leave their hometown and avoid modern technology, a train trip to Mexico must be a scary experience. You mean when they're not traveling all over the states to do business with the English, or carting themselves around in wagons with electric lights, or fueling their diesel generators to power batteries to run power tools and heavy machinery they use to create products for English customers? .... I'm pretty sure boarding transport technology that's been around since well before the 16th century to talk to "outsiders" is nowhere near scary to them (especially after Rumspringa, for example). It's easy to get into a romantic, over-simplified idea of a general people based on some preconceived notions about them, and those can often cloud further ideas and lead to things like cherry-picking data to support a theory that "sounds right".
