The US provides a disproportionate share of the drug company profits and research dollars. So the next time you shell out a hundred dollars a month for a prescription, that the rest of the world is paying $30 or $40, you can take comfort in the fact that you're paying the lion's share of the drug research and CEO salaries of the world's drug companies.Ok... procedures... what about medication? I know people up here in the NE who go to Canada to buy their prescriptions because it's 1/3(or even less) of the cost as in these great United States. That would ALSO be a form of medical tourism.
You people are too damned dumb to realize that our own Medical companies are raking us across the coals while giving huge breaks to the rest of the world.
Sorry, getting meds is not what medical tourism is in my book. Also, getting meds from mexico.... i would not trust.
But i do agree with you. Meds should be cheap here and we should charge the rest of the world up the ass for them.

Too expensive to get done here, but cheap enough to afford travel to another country and let some hack operate on you?
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooookaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..............
Travel to another country......have you checked airline rates lately
500 American companies are sticking it to the public. About 50,000,000 can't even afford health insurance. That's the way Republicans like it.
So are people hoping planes to get medical care or not?
Sorry, I have rounded with fourth year Medical Students from Mexico. The difference? After they graduate, they can start treating people.
The best of them were clamoring to get a residency in the United States so they could be adequately trained.
I wouldn't let the others treat my dog.
The cost is irrelevant to them... they can afford anything they want. Why go to the hassle of flying somewhere when they can get perfectly good treatment here and have their cadillac insurance pay for it?And those 'rich assholes' get their medical procedures WHERE?? Their cancer treatment WHERE?? Their physical therapy WHERE??
Idiot asshole hyper-partisan twit
That's the point.... they can AFFORD it numbnuts.
Do they make millions by overspending... if they could go to France or Bali to get it cheaper, they FUCKING WOULD IF OT WERE THE SAME QUALITY
You fucking buffoon

Folks who talk the way you talk are Republicans. That means simply, "I've Got Mine...Now By Gawd You Get Yours"
100,000+ Americans travel to places like India, Belgium, Mexico, Spain, Columbia, S. Korea etc. each year to get medical procedures either denied to them here or too expensive for them to afford. The trend and numbers are growing.
Know what the problem is........we're the only industriali ed country in the world where over 500 companies make profits off of sick people. After all that we still rank 37th in general health and longeivity.

Of course, all the 36 countries on that list that outrank the US have a more socialized healthcare system than the US. In fact, every country ranking higher than the US has universal coverage or universal healthcare. The US healthcare system is the most expensive in world and healthcare outcomes are one of worst among developed countries.100,000+ Americans travel to places like India, Belgium, Mexico, Spain, Columbia, S.

Yeah I know all about it.
Medical Tourism | Affordable Cosmetic Surgery | Cosmetic Dental Abroad - Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego Riverside
Great Tummy Tuck.
More patients go abroad for medical treatment from the UK than the US. Why? Maybe socialized medicine.
Now if you look at medical tourism realistically, MANY such destinations are in countries that have socialized medicine already. The medical facilities rely on medical tourism to MAKE A PROFIT. The best doctors, the best hospitals aren't available for the citizens condemned to socialized medicine but reserved for the paying customers.
Standard Republican bull shit. It's good for more than 500 companies to turn profits off of the ill and infirm. Like I posted before...the Republicans have been trying to do away with social security ever since FDR signed it into law in the mid thirties. They even managed to get it to the supreme court twice but it was still ruled constitutional. See....someday every single American will catch on to the Republican mantra, "By Gawd I've Got Mine...Now By Gawd You Get Yours." You know.....Alan Kooi Simpson personified.
Most of the rich assholes had it handed to them with no strings attached. Either that or they're too busy thumpin' their bibles to ever wake up and read anything.
People coming to the US for care are very wealthy.And of course all. the medical tourism TO the US.. for superior care, superior skilled doctors and facilities, etc... but you don't see the troll OP mentioning that

Move to Korea for your Lobotomy and stay there

There is a lot more to medical tourism than your idealogical point.
One reason people travel for surgeries is they face a long wait time in their country due to socialized medicine. Another is the lower standards, infection rate, and sub-par medical products.
Another thread that is not going how you wanted.

It's a great thing.
My, what the market can do when it is allowed to work !
Many, as I understand it, will travel the countries on a vacation and then have the procedure.
Sounds pretty good to me.
Guess the thousands that come here better get here quick before ObamaCare kicks in, huh?
