英文摘要	This article provides evidence for viewing medical tourism through the lens of transborder theory in order to analyze the variation in access to health care for populations who share the US-Mexico border/lands. Using digital ethnography methods, we examine medical tourism at the US-Mexico border. Through three case studies, we highlight how the global free movement of seeking health care at the borderlands of nation-states provides an oasis for residents of one side of the border but creates and intensifies unequal access to health care on the other. We present evidence from YouTube testimonies, health blog sites, and Twitter to illustrate this discrepancy. This article, therefore, considers the role that the demographics of health seekers play in medical tourism and free movement across borderlands in their search for 'affordable' care services.
