[quote=deadzone]The healthcare in TJ is already avaialble to us without opening the border any more. But yeah there is something to be said for going down there for routine health care and prescriptions. The system here is broke and getting worse by the day.[/quote]
Technically, most things in TJ are “already available to us without opening the border any more.” Oftentimes, the hassle is the border itself.
What I’d like to see with healthcare – and this will never ever happen – is to allow doctors/dentists/etc. to practice in San Diego in the same manner they practice in TJ (that is, fewer regulations, less fear of malpractice, etc.) so that you don’t actually have to cross the border to capture the value… but, again, that’s never gonna happen.
Opening the border on healthcare – so to speak – would be an enormous benefit to San Diegans. Because as you mentioned, “the system here is broke…”
