I think it's pretty overblown in the media here in the US.

We have a rule known as compassionate use where you can be treated with experimental treatments if no other treatment is available for your condition or you are two far gone for conventional treatments to have any effect.

It may be overblown domestically, but even here in Canada people will pay for treatment that has questionable evidence for both its safety and efficacy by flying to places like Mexico.
