I wonder how much is due to the affordable medical rates from across the border. I know many of my friends still go over there for dentist work. Maybe it's due to the fact no one can afford it. When $10 a hour is a good paying job, who can spare a few hundred dollars a month in medical insurance. Some people just go to the emergency room and never pay the bill. Are there government programs that pay for medical expenses? I for one have VA coverage. I feel concerned for our neighbors who don't have medical insurance. Just one bad thing can happen and the insurance would really come in handy.
