what if instead of paying for health insurance, usians saved that money for a trip to a place with actual healthcare

this is a thing actually lol. Although the individual mandate sorta screwed it up for a few years

most commonly it's people near-ish to the northern or southern border going to canada or mexico for prescriptions, dental work, etc. There's also a lot of people travelling for surgeries that aren't covered by insurance and are ludicrously expensive and hard to get in the states, often things like hair transplants or trans top/bottom surgeries, but probably other things as well.

I mean shit people also order their medications from under-the-table overseas pharmacies pretty often.

My mom had to do that. She went to Costa Rica (I think) to get her dental work done. Saved tens of thousands of dollars.

There's a huge market of Americans who pop down to Mexico to get their dental work done for a lot less. Get near the border you may see billboards about it. It's insane.
