It is about the money in the sense that I can't afford the copays and deductibles in the US. Morally, ethically and yes financially I have no choice but to cross the border. At one point in my life I resented being forced to cross the border for health care as I understood that in America I didn't make the grade....that health care was not a right like in any other first world country, and that America deemed me not worth health care. Now I'm so disengaged from this country that if I'm not on Medicaid, I'm afraid to access US health care even if I could afford it. I deserve much better. Thankfully much better is not hard to find in Mexico and thankfully I'm only three hours away from the border. Rob
