HMOG!... let's hope you mean the terminally ill will bomb INSURANCE COMPANY HEADQUARTERS, and K-STREET LOBBYIST OFFICES, and *not* the hospitals, where many good and innocent nurses are doing ALL THEY CAN (and then some) to actually help sick folks.
If a few so-called "MDs" who used all their medical training to become plastic-titty-installers happen to be at the Insurance HQ, picking up a check, when the "device" goes off, oh well, so sad... ;')
The bomber should go to the insurance company who is denying/delaying them treatment to save money lol & a plastic surgeon is fee for service, they rarely deal with insurance.
I tell everyone "insurance is the business of probabilities that favors the business."
You can insure anything as long as the probabilities favor you the insurer.
The $1200 extraction was probably from an oral surgeon who was including IV sedation. The extraction for $50 is a great deal, but take into account the cleanliness of the facility, costs of living, wages, rent, and most important the standard of care. There are dentists abroad that may be up to par or better, but the risk you take may cost you more. Will you fly back to address the dry socket, possible infection or cyst? Most doctors don't like cleaning up others messes. There are now many medical/dental vacations. After surgery you are leaving that country and the deal/transaction is done. Remember they are fully aware of it. A patient that never returns with concerns is deemed 'geographical success.' That bridge or porcelain crown may look great, but then on the plane trip home after the anesthetic wears off you notice your bite is off and awake with headaches. You go to get it adjusted and the teeth cemented are bulky, not embracing the tooth entirely and/or with open edges covered by gums. Losing your new white teeth to future decay will not seem worthwhile in retrospect. Redoing anything will cost more in the long run. If you are abroad, don't settle for anything less than the best.

Terminally ill uninsured to blow up hospitals
This is one of the realities we face by allowing the oligarchy of health insurance companies to commit genocide on the American people by denying health care thus terminating up to 65,000 people each year. More will be spent on hospital security then to treat the uninsured. Billions spent on x-ray machines to screen people entering hospitals than to screen for illness. Bomb sniffing dogs with better healthcare than the people they are screening. And all the while the civilized industrial nations are laughing at us Americans. Just as Americans, because of their conscience, banned products like Nike sports equipment made in Cambodia and Pakistan where child labor was used extensively, so will Europe ban American products like GM, Ford, GE, and Microsoft from entering their countries because of our primitive immoral practices likened to Nazi extermination of Jews, Christians, Gays and Gypsies etc. Massive American unemployment will follow and thus will have the numbers to vote in a single payer plan. To make matters worse, the first IED hospital suicide bomber will be posthumously granted a Nobel peace prize. Americas image will be tarnished forever as a third world nation. At least in the wild west westerns I remember the doctors treating people for free.
Many will argue that a single payer or “true free market” system where we can buy insurance across state lines or from EU countries is socialism. Many people define socialism differently. Are not paved roads, running water, sewers, electricity and schools socialism? Republicans used to think so and Taliban currently thinks so, that's why they blow them up. When the Aztecs invented the Wheel they feared it would lead to socialism so they banned its use except for children's toys. Their backwards American civilization was replaced by that of the advanced Spanish.
The terminally ill have nothing to lose, but they can save a million lives.
Lets give all doctors a universal visa that allows them to live and practice in any country. Doctors without borders on a grand scale.
Republicans for free market universal care. Use your vote.
