- cpursley 14y agoNot for routine care - stuff of $10,000 or so. And the insurance would cover all travel expenses.

If you can pay $1300 for the routine stuff described in the article, it'll probably be cheaper to do it outside. I don't know the prices in North America, but based on EU prices I'd guess it should cost less than $500 to fly across half continent and back, and $150 for the actual operation in any good Mexican hospital; which coincidentally adds up to half the USA price.
