this is a thing actually lol. Although the individual mandate sorta screwed it up for a few years
most commonly it’s people near-ish to the northern or southern border going to canada or mexico for prescriptions, dental work, etc. There’s also a lot of people travelling for surgeries that aren’t covered by insurance and are ludicrously expensive and hard to get in the states, often things like hair transplants or trans top/bottom surgeries, but probably other things as well.
I mean shit people also order their medications from under-the-table overseas pharmacies pretty often.
There’s a huge market of Americans who pop down to Mexico to get their dental work done for a lot less. Get near the border you may see billboards about it. It’s insane.
what if instead of paying for health insurance, usians saved that money for a trip to a place with actual healthcare

My mom had to do that. She went to Costa Rica (I think) to get her dental work done. Saved tens of thousands of dollars.
I just ration my meds.
If i dont work, no meds for me
