Charlie Hall,
With all due respect you left out some facts, It is true that a growing number of Americans go overeas for medical care.
The Reason?
Medical tourisim.
The cost of treatment in America is prohibitive so it is becoming well worth it for insurance companies to pay someones travel expenses to have an operation overseas rather then here.
It is also becoming well worth it for Doctors to operate overseas where they can charge less money and take home more then here.
Why?
The cost of doing buisness for a Doctor in the U.S is enormous a typical OBGYN in N>Y must pay out 1 MILLION dollars a year in malpractice insurance!
Hence an increasing number of good doctors are choosing to operate overseas and treat American patients there.
