Where are the rates one pays in Mexico ?

Health care in Mexico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to the site International living - Live, Retire and Invest Overseas., health care in Mexico is described as very good to excellent while being highly affordable, with every medium to large city in Mexico having at least one first-rate hospital. In fact, some California insurers sell health insurance policies that require members to go to Mexico for health care where costs are 40% lower.[SUP][9][/SUP] Some of Mexico's top-rate hospitals are internationally accredited.[SUP][10][/SUP] Residents of USA, particularly those living near the Mexican border, now routinely cross the border into Mexico for medical care.[SUP][11][/SUP] Popular specialties include dentistry and plastic surgery. Mexican dentists often charge 20 to 25 percent of US prices,[SUP][12][/SUP] while other procedures typically cost a third what they would cost in the US.[SUP][11][/SUP] The International living - Live, Retire and Invest Overseas. site states that on average, an office visit with a doctor—specialists included—will cost about US$25, an overnight stay in a private hospital room costs about $35, and a visit to a dentist for teeth cleaning costs about $20. Some 40,000 to 80,000 American seniors spend their retirement years in Mexico with a considerable number receiving nursing home and health care.[SUP][13][/SUP]

With many physicians from the U.S. having received their training in Mexico, and with many Mexican doctors having received at least part of their training in the United States, the quality of Mexican health care has been reported to be comparable to that in the United States: "in general, health care in Mexico is very good…and in many places it is excellent."[SUP][14][/SUP] Lower medical costs than the U.S. have been found to bear no relationship to the quality of medical attention and knowledge about health care provided in Mexico.[SUP][2][/SUP] Mexican hospitals are equipped to first world standards, use modern equipment and hygiene and many Mexican doctors received their training in the US.[SUP][15][/SUP][SUP][16][/SUP] When it comes to diagnosis and treatment, Americans receiving treatment in Mexico say it is just as good as in the United States – and sometimes better.[SUP][17][/SUP]

The great divider is holding a meeting/briefing on the troubles of rolling out the ACA.....Democrats only and closed door.
The public deserves to know what the heck is going on and he doesn't know the meaning of bi-partisan.

I thought we are a nation of laws?

Wasn't one of your ancestors a prominate judge back in the good old days?

Congress sets law, judges decide. At least in America.

​Not that I am aware of and I have traced part of my ancestry back to the 1600's.
I could have used some help with a few traffic tickets but I view those as a tax.

Regardless, this whole thread of thought was about the personification of a non-living entity - a corporation.
Personification - means giving an inanimate (non-living) object human traits and qualities, such as emotions, desires, sensations, physical gestures and speech.

Oopsie.
(CBS News) — CBS News has uncovered a serious pricing problem with HealthCare.gov. It stems from the Obama administration’s efforts to improve its health care website. A new online feature can dramatically underestimate the cost of insurance.

The administration announced it would provide a new “shop and browse” feature Sunday, but it’s not giving consumers the real picture. In some cases, people could end up paying double of what they see on the website, CBS News’ Jan Crawford reported Wednesday on “CBS This Morning.”

As President Obama promises to fix HealthCare.gov, his administration is touting what it calls “improvements” in design, specifically a feature that allows you to “See Plans Now.” White House press secretary Jay Carney has said, “Americans across the country can type in their zip code and shop and browse.”

But CBS News has learned the new “shop and browse” feature often comes with the wrong price tags.

Industry analysts, such as Jonathan Wu, point to how the website lumps people only into two broad categories: “49 or under” and “50 or older.”
Wu said it’s “incredibly misleading for people that are trying to get a sense of what they’re paying.”

Prices for everyone in the 49-or-under group are based on what a 27-year-old would pay. In the 50-or-older group, prices are based on what a 50-year-old would pay.
