That’s a good point and certainly accounts for perhaps a couple of percentage points in the differential, but… not the whole 10 percentage points. No, clearly we have multiple US-specific problems with our delivery system.[/quote]

More than a couple of points. Most of the medical expenses accumulate during the last few years of life. Probably enough to account for the gap between Mexico and Europe.

We do have multiple US-specific problems, but solving them will not reduce real cost of treatment by more than 20-40%.

I’ll have to check him out… I’ve seen two different dental offices in TJ and I’ve not been impressed with either.
