I don't dispute that care in US is more expensive for a variety of reasons.
But your post stated that the only, or at least the biggest, reason why that difference exists between US and Mexico is because of less regulation in the latter, and more healthy private market resulting from that. I point out that a large part of that difference does have to do with standard of living. It's not true just for healthcare - the same goes for most other things. It's why people from US often retire to those countries.
> Doctors already get paid US wages. Not really sure what you were thinking when you wrote that.
Of course, but they get paid out of your insurance. You were, again, comparing that system to going to a place like Mexico, and paying out of pocket. If you were to pay out of pocket here in US for those wages, it wouldn't really be affordable.
