I have heard a lot of talk about health care reform and universal health care. Left out in all of this debate is cost containment and the elimination of waste.
Any talk about health care reform should be coupled with cost control.
Medical tourism will continue to increase as long as the cost of health care in the US continues to rise. The numbers of the uninsured will continue to rise as well.
Please see enclosed article. I realize that this topic has been covered adnosium. I included the article because it is about surgical procedures being performed abroad for a fraction of what they cost in the U.S. This practice can possibly impact us in the future.
