This is a solid strategy.  Especially in a situation where you need something done that doesn't require immediate emergency room attention.  The only loop hole is that their is a window to sign up for those Obamacare plans and if you miss the window it is hard to get into the plan.  They make you file all this stuff to explain why you didn't have coverage to start the year.  

I just got back from Nogales, Mexico.  I just got my root canal.  But yeah Mexico is a better place to potentially get stuff done for sure.  Take a medical vacation in some cases.
