[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of people go overseas for cheaper care, and that includes Americans. https://www.magazine.medicaltourism.com/article/top-10-medical-tourism-destinations-world Canada and the UK are on the list of countries people go to for medical care. Non residents would pay out of pocket, of course, so they don't use the national care service. US is not on the list. Most people in the world cannot afford American medical prices. https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/top-5-medical-tourism-destinations-in-the-world-1176780/5/ This one lists in order from the first link (Medical tourism link) 1. Canada 2. Singapore 3. Japan 4. Spain 5. UK Example of hip replacement surgery in different countries (hint: US is the most expensive; UK is less than half the cost of the US, and India is the cheapest): https://www.medicaltourismco.com/hip-replacement-surgery-abroad/[/quote] How do you get follow up care if you have a hip replacement or other procedure abroad? I'm part of the "if anything can go wrong it will go wrong" category of patients.[/quote] In Thailand it is like a combination of hospital and hotel . The hospital has all the specialties you need and when you are better you recover in the hotel.[/quote] I take months or years to recover or never do due to autoimmune issues. I don't think a hotel stay would cover it. Too risky for me.[/quote]
