An article from Cracked, but interesting nonetheless. Mixing a little comedy into serious topics always makes them more enjoyable.

I've been honestly thinking of doing this myself. Health insurance companies are a pain to deal with. You go to see a doctor and you think everything's taken care of, but then you have to sit on the phone for hours at a time for potentially months on end to resolve a billing issue, fax in all kinds of paperwork, and possibly be denied, there's denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions, and a laundry list of other problems.
Instead? Take a vacation somewhere in the southern US, make an appointment on the other side for whatever medical needs you have, then cross back and enjoy the rest of your vacation. The double benefit is avoiding the stress and hassle of dealing with the insurance company while getting away from everything for a few days. Seems like a win-win.
Personally, I think I'm going to have my next dentist appointment down there. I'm in my 30s and still no cavities AFAIK, but I'm about 4 years overdue for a checkup. Just avoid the shady parts of town and be in and out.
