You can park at the border station and walk in. The tiny city is pretty much entirely dedicated to discount medical sales and is packed to the brim with dentists, pharmacists, opticians, and cosmetologists. When I was there, salesmen would literally call out &amp;quot;cavity? cavity?&amp;quot; to the passersby on the street. It&amp;#x27;s like some eerie alien recreation of Las Vegas where gambling is replaced with curbside botox and root canals.&lt;p&gt;We only spent about 20 minutes walking around (probably spent more time in the border office), but it was a super memorable pit stop for me.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Americans Cross Border into Mexico to Buy Insulin</title><url>https://khn.org/news/americans-cross-border-into-mexico-to-buy-insulin-at-a-fraction-of-u-s-cost/</url></story>

They say that a 3 month supply is $3700.&lt;p&gt;Humalog without insurance costs $95 per 3 ml cartridge, let&amp;#x27;s say it&amp;#x27;s a $100. This would mean that this child needs 37 cartridges for 3 months, or 12 cartridges per month, 3 per week.&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#x27;s a pretty crazy amount of insulin. I&amp;#x27;m a T1 diabetic, that doesn&amp;#x27;t eat particularly healthy, and I need 2-3 cartridges a month, almost an order of magnitude less than the person in the article.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t think those numbers are right.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Americans Cross Border into Mexico to Buy Insulin</title><url>https://khn.org/news/americans-cross-border-into-mexico-to-buy-insulin-at-a-fraction-of-u-s-cost/</url></story>
