The Third World is ...where? Another side of health care reform

I recently posted a link to an article about the thousands of uninsured people in Los Angeles who lined up to receive health care from a team of doctors who ordinarily serve the third world. This tells us what we already knew- segments of the US population effectively live in the third world.
And now this. The article below reports on the increasing tendency of Americans to go to Mexico, where treatment is cheaper and easier to obtain, for health care.
