Report: "Their debut single Wannabe remains a zesty proposition and the plethora of sleeve photos allow you to compare before-and-after plastic surgery looks." Last year, more than 500,000 U.S. citizens traveled abroad for health care. They went to Thailand to get heart bypass surgeries for $11,000 instead of the $130,000 it would cost in the U.S. Or they went to India for spinal fusion at $5,500 a pop, well below the $62,000 sticker price in the states. The trend of more people traveling abroad to get medical treatment shouldn't take Americans by surprise. As our population grows older and health care costs keep rising, more people want cheaper ways to get hip replacements and liposuction. Web sites like MedRetreat.com facilitate medical tourism and allow potential patients to comb through vacation-like packages for procedures and destinations as if they were going on a honeymoon. |
