You ever considered traveling to another country to have a medical procedure? Where would you go?

it's lame to try and find cheaper medical care?

Yeah thats def what this thread about

I know people travel to DR/Colombia/Turkey/Thailand/South Korea for all sorts of cosmetic reasons, but if you needed to have surgery on one of your organs, and your financial or health insurance situation is not good in your home country, what other country would you trust to have high level care at a fraction of the price?

Also, I'm assuming that you might not want to chance it for major surgeries like transplants, but if it was something more routine like shoulder, ankle, hemorrhoids, sinus, etc. what place do you think would be capable to get you sorted out nicely?

I've heard for many years that Cuba was pretty top-notch with medical procedures, and since you'd probably be traveling from a 1st world country, you'd probably be able to afford the BEST hospital once you got to Cuba, but has anyone else heard anything different?

Thankfully, I'm fortunate enough to not need to use this info. right now in my life, but it's always good to know just in case.

Tbh Canada is already a huge discount because of the lack of corrupt insurance companies/hospitals. The single buyer system actually makes it better for us going there without insurance. And they got More or less the same health system too.


Japan is also a similar boat.The us is an anomaly for our health system being expensive among first world nations. There is no reason my MRI should cost $1200 while Canada charges 500 . Even funky, techno, anime-land Japan only costs 150-250 for the same scan.

I know somebody who just went to Mexico for veneers. They was cheap as hell like 3k for everything included a place to sleep. That’s where all the IG thots go for their BBLs too.

Wtf kinda man considering some lame shyt like this

Imagine you want to buy a 2021 corrola. A dealership named "MAGA's used cars" is brazenly selling that used corrola for $70,000 while another dealership named "maple tree used cars" is selling that exact same corrola for $30k. Finally, the actual maker of the car at "kishimoto used cars" is selling the exact same Corolla for $15k. Who do you choose?


I think you'd be more of a lame for willinging getting your pockets raped at "MAGA used cars" . Spending Mercedes money for a Corolla. This the exact same scenario for our health care system.

Great video here for those who may have been uninformed. And this is from at least 8 years ago. With an improvement in technology, I'm sure things have become better overall. Thanks.
