Yeah, it sucks when Americans have to go to Canada or Cuba for free healthcare that we should already have, but these idiots were going to Mexico to save on a tummy tuck. That place has been a cartel battleground for decades, I don't know why the hell they thought this would be a good idea.

And the surgeons don't even give you a nice new necktie for your visit.

>tummy tuck
And crossed into one of the most dangerous areas. I’m not sure this is oniony the way you think it is.

I've actually heard it might have not even a tummy tuck and drug deal gone bad. Even the doctor is saying there was no appointment. There also other stuff but that one sticks out the most.

The title of this post makes it sound like there were four Americans who were already kidnapped, presumably in the US, then they somehow snuck into Mexico to save themselves with necessary medical care.
Not the reality which is four people went to Mexico to get one of the people a cheap unregulated tummy tuck and got kidnapped while there. The article itself doesn't make it sound oniony at all, just OP.

“Health care”…
Icy_Associate8487 t1_jba2xam wrote
Actually. Dental and medical procedures are a lot cheaper in Mexico. That's why plenty of Texans and other people go there. I myself went to get cavities and root canal done for very little compared to what I would have had to pay in the US. Plus that was 8 years ago and the work is still holding together perfectly.

We’re both correct, I was just pointing out the irony that they went there for a tummy-tuck, and two were just found dead, one injured. Not much “health” or “care”, in this case.

Dang! Guess not. I see your point. Had no idea it turned out that bad for them.

You don’t bring 3 sketchy looking dudes with you for a tummy tuck. You bring 3 of your best bitches with you. You trying to make me believe these fools were getting a mani and a pedi too?

This is gonna be used as an excuse for america to either go to war or fund one against Mexico’s cartels isn’t it?

Yup, just saw yesterday on the news, using US military against the cartel.

Hopefully the tummy tuck will not be accomplished by withholding food

This is some bullshit writing. They went for a tummy tuck. How about reporting on the kidnappers you lib shit slinging hippy. Lol
ronger_donjer t1_jbf42hn wrote
Yeah and that story of the 9 women and children who got shot up by a cartel were just spreading bullshit religous lies, not on some "holy mission." I swear reporting has gotten out of hand

There's lots of Americans who get kidnapped in Mexico and often! They only cared for these guys cuz they weren't Mexican-Americans.
chocotaco t1_jbl1u91 wrote
Pretty much. Either way I think there's more to than a tummy tuck.
