Many people already go to Mexico for dental work so I imagine it's possible to do something similar with China, if your medical bills are high enough.

Yeah, but that’s simple border hopping for a day or two to get quick dental work. Cancer treatments take months if not years, and it would be an insane workaround to try and get it to work.

That's true. But also this is US healthcare we're talking about so I'd believe it if flying to China works out to be cheaper for someone lol
