You're believing a lie.

Google the term "medical tourism".

By demographics, approximately 10 times as many people should be coming to the US from other countries than go to other countries FROM the US.

The reality is that 10 times as many people LEAVE the US for medical procedures as come here from foreign countries.

Heck, two people who are working in my department *in the Air Force*, were flying to Mexico for dental work because even after air fare, the price was cheaper. (One cancelled due to escalating violence near the airport she was flying to)
