本文估计的需求，包括预防和门诊护理在美国和墨西哥的综合保健的两国健康计划。结果显示，62%的受访者对该产品感兴趣，如果墨西哥的公立医院提供服务，57%的人愿意每月支付75 - 125美元。如果墨西哥的服务是通过私人提供商提供的，只有23%的人愿意每月为同样的计划支付150 - 250美元。支付意愿最强的预测因素是在墨西哥有受保人，并为健康目的向他们汇款。
This paper estimates the demand for a binational health plan comprising preventive and ambulatory care in the United States and comprehensive care in Mexico. The results show that 62 percent of the surveyed population were interested in the product, and 57 percent were willing to pay $75-$125 a month if services in Mexico were provided in public hospitals. Only 23 percent were willing to pay $150-$250 a month for the same plan if services in Mexico were offered through private providers. The strongest predictors of willingness to pay were having insured dependents in Mexico and sending them remittances for health purposes.
