There will be a flood of people moving to Brazil.  I wonder if the surgeries are available to others.  The price is obtainable for most, but what are the results?

No, I'm sure they are at least as sanitary as USA clinics and hospitals are, perhaps moreso, as the best place to get an infection in USA is during a hospital stay. But those other results.
