A lot of people walk across the border onto a block of medical offices and over-night stay hospitals. Some claim they have gotten better care there, than in the states for far less money. Some can not afford the care here. This might not be the Cartel. The Dr.'s at the border pay protection money, to be left alone. This is try of the restaurants on the strip as well. I have never been to that area, but when we were considering moving to the water, a half hour from Merida Mexico, we visited with sereral people who had work done there. Most around Merida stuck closer to that area, as it was inexpensive and they had good medical.
I am pretty certain that the woman who went over for a tummy tuck is full of shock and regret. Most people walk over, so mistakes are not made.
There are certain areas the gangs and cartels leave alone, because their families all live, or vacation there. Celestun is one such place as well.
I will do everything in my power to avoid Atlanta. Even six years ago, the Panamanian people thought of Atlanta as the worse place on earth, just from watching nightly news. Some even considered that the whole U.S. must be that bad, not taking into account the size of our country.
Why would a basketball player be in Russia, where they were at war and would love to have hostages to trade. We bailed out the wrong one. Get that Marine out of there!
