So, you have: a) “free” public health care, that nobody wants. 
b) private health care, where supply and demand has driven up the costs (plus there’s no government subsidy, because that’s all gone to “a")
and
c) foreign health care, which is cheaper but perhaps, not as tightly regulated as elsewhere in the West.
The site AwfulPlasticSurgery.com has shown videos of young ladies from Britain who have traveled abroad for plastic surgery. Caveat emptor.

For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

Not sure that favor for national health care is what he meant to espouse.  My take on both the article and his comment is that national health care would cause a stream of people to go overseas to less regulated medical care. 

And the result could be disasterous.

Don’t think so, trex.  Economics 101 says that the supply will rise to meet the demand.  A good example is the Texas-Mexico border towns where there are dentists and pharmacies on every block in some of the Mexican towns because the Texans can get their dental work and drugs a whole lot cheaper in Mexico.

Yes, they go across to the less regulated side. Actually, just a less obvious case of the same problem.  If we start to socialize medicine, I would expect the number of doctors and pharmacies in Central and South America to expand greatly.
