Ah, I'm just noticing your reply now as I'm reviewing your posts, and thank you for the info!

I read that article, and my first thought was "What the fuck kind of country is Mexico if a drug cartel puts out a press release as if it's a Fortune 500 company?". 

My second thought (since I haven't read all the posts here) was about what kind of medical procedure those folks were heading down to Mexico to have done.  Thankfully, at least at the end of the article it was implied that it was plastic surgery.  That makes sense; insurance companies usually don't pay for elective surgeries like that, and paying cash for [boob job/face lift/sex change/whatever] in the US would be way more than the average person could afford.  Not sure how much that stuff goes for down in the fine country of Mexico, but I'm guessing it's way less.
