The average cost of a knee replacement for an uninsured patient in the United States is around $40,000. What does the same surgery cost at one of Mexico's top hospitals? Around $11,500. More and more foreigners are seeking medical and dental care in Mexico. More than half of Americans that file for bankruptcy say that medical bills were a factor! Many Mexican hospitals have state of the art equipment and doctors who have trained at the world's best medical schools, so its no surprise that people are seeking out care abroad.
For uninsured Americans, traveling to Mexico for surgery is a great cost savings alternative.

I have personally been to the ABC Hospital in Mexico City and I can attest that I received outstanding care at a fraction of the price.
