Gay A Nightmare on Elm Street Actor, Mark Patton, Raising Funds for Treatment

He has HIV and now Covid. He collapsed. He lives in Mexico. Anyone know why he lives in Mexico?

According to Wikipedia, he's lived in Mexico for 20+ years and runs an "art store" (not sure if that's art supplies or a gallery) with his husband.

Hope he gets the financial and medical help he needs - COVID's a bitch even when you're not immunocompromised.

He seems like a nice guy.

He seems nice, but his situation highlights a quandary many older ex-pats find themselves in: They move to countries that seem fun and exciting when they’re younger, and then they realize how shit the healthcare systems are. Mexico is no place to be when you’re POZ or have COVID.

His health OTOH has taken a turn for the worse.

if u r old n not super rich, choose a country with universal healthcare if u do not want to die bcoz u can not afford to pay for ur treatments

Even in a country with universal healthcare, things aren’t so easy when one is terminally ill. The US had plenty of low cost and free top-notch healthcare options for people with HIV/AIDS. Being surrounded by short Mexican hustlers isn’t worth jeopardizing your health.
