Hi Friends;
I'm reading an article about medical outsourcing or medical tourism as it is also known. (http://www.medicaltourism.com) and wonder if you know about it. The article I'm reading was in the Jan/Feb 2008 Saturday Evening Post.
If you need some major health procedure done that you can't afford (hip replacement, heart by-pass), you may be able to get your insurance to cover the procedure in Costa Rica, Thailand, India or the Philippines! Or, at lease save 75-90% if you pay for it yourself. Some insurance companies actually pay for a companion to go along with you, pay for both tickets and give you 20% of the difference in prices between the U.S. price and the foreign price! In Bangkok they pick you up at the airport. The quality is at least as good as U.S. because these boutique hospitals can't risk loosing the U.S. business.
If you are uninsured, this may be the only option, outside bankruptcy, to get your medical procedure.
The point of my telling you this is, of course, if you need a (free) companion to go along with you, my time can be flexible!!!
