No but the regulation and the protectionism does. My father recently flew to los algodones, Mexico for dental work that included bone graphs, tooth pullings, bridges etc. throughout his whole mouth for around $2k. The estimate for the same job here costs at least $15k. I am really surprised there aren't any online price arbitrage websites for healthcare. You could pay a few pennies to fly across the world to get competitive healthcare at a 1/10th of the cost it would be here.
