PS There is actually an increasing number of US folks going to other countries for healthcare - it's an increasing biz here - healthcare system ranks the same as the US, but at around 25%-33% of the cost. It can also be the same US hospital chains providing that service - strange.... |
Webby, you're preachin' to the choir here buddy boy!
I do ad work for advanced medical research labs. Two top ones in Thailand.
The costs in Thailand are 10% of what you pay here in the U.S. and believe it or not there are global health care companies and credit/loans that cover that shit! They're so competitive to the U.S. credit/lending and health care/medical systems it's amazing! You can get full coverage from companies outside of the U.S. with ten times the customer care!
Thailand alone, any one of our patients let's say a heart problem patient that would be paying $150k in the U.S. In Thailand that rounds out to $15k. During your stay you have nurses around you around the clock. People get your food get your mail, clip your toenails etc. Recouperation is even better, beach stays, fresh food etc.. Heck they have guys who'll get you a piece of poontang if it'll make ya feel better!
Now compare that with what you get in the U.S.. The doctors there and in China are so into doing the best job in competition with one another they go overboard to do a superior job. It's an honor thing. Infection rates are 10% of what they are in the U.S. because in Thailand they do something simple:
THEY WASH THEIR FUCKING HANDS.
If you need health insurance and can't get it in the U.S. because of pre-existing conditions? Get it from numerous other insurance companies worldwide that cover you in the U.S.. Pisses off the American companies no-end and what's better, two friends of mine own two insurance companies overseas. The big insurance companies tried to buy them out and they refused! I think they're going to be in the Michael Moore movie talking about it.
