Can't remember the name of the Mexican border town to AZ. About 12 years ago, while visiting friends in Green Valley we motored down there, parked our car on the U.S. side and walked in to purchase some antibiotics at a pharmacy as one of us was ill. It was easy back then. I have relatives who live in AZ who used to go over the border to buy the RX's that are so expensive on the U.S. side. I'd venture to say NOONE does this anymore due to the violence! The town whose name I can't remember (senior moment here) was in the news alot due to folks being murdered etc.
I have a friend up north, whose company sends him to their facility in Mexico on a regular basis. I believe they have insurance in the event something happens to him. I know his wife worries every time he has to travel there. It's not a border town neither, but in the interior somewhere. I don't know how the expats are faring down there with the thoughts that bandits could come at anytime. I wouldn't go anymore---it used to be one of our favorite countries to vacation in!!
