Here in the U.S., getting medical services can be inconvenient, unpleasant and expensive. For some however, traveling across the border for attention is worth the drive.

"I got my teeth cleaned for $30," said Nogales native Zelida Hernandez, who goes back home from Tucson to receive dental work annually.

And $30 is quite a steal, some might agree. Especially for Shantel Spencer's cousins, who have gotten all of their braces and miscellaneous dental work done for free on the Navajo reservation in Gallup, NM.

Spencer says that all health care is inexpensive on reservations, because of treaty agreements through the U.S. government.

"It's an obligation of the government to provide health care to Navajo people," she said.

Though it might not be the most, "quality," health care, Spencer said, it's still readily available when needed.

As a kid Spencer's family had to rely on Indian health care because her family didn't have medical insurance. One time she remembers waiting for six hours in the reservations emergency room and almost fainting.

"They want to give residents quality medical attention, but it's hard sometimes because there aren't enough doctors," she said.

Perlita Rojas also travels back to her home in Nogales for doctor's appointments to save money. It might take 45 minutes to get there, but she can't resist saving the money, she said.

In Mexico, Rojas said, every resident has access to the universal health care plan.

U.S. citizens can benefit from health care on the border, and though they may not receive the deal that Mexico citizens do, the prices are substantially cheaper, and many offices even accept U.S. insurance.

"And the health care is high-quality and abundant in Nogales," Hernandez said, "I am lucky to be able to receive it."
