Medical tourism declines

Only 1 percent of the Americans traveling abroad for health care come to Mexico, according to the International Chamber of Health Tourism. Costs in Mexico are a third or more less than they would be in the United States, transportation costs are lower and there are other advantages. These, however, amount to nothing when compared to the feeling of insecurity resulting from gang wars in Mexico.
