Medical Tourism
Big drawback to medical tourism is you have to be rich or have private insurance.
Medicaid won't pay. Medicaid won't even pay across state lines, even if it would save the Medicaid money.
Medicaid being run by each state means 50 different set of rules. My girlfriend's brother moved from Maryland to Kansas. In Maryland he had Maryland Medicaid. Year after he moved to Kansas, he got a letter from Maryland, stating he was still on their program. Can't use it, as Maryland won't pay for doctors and hospitals in Kansas and he moved here as he was going to become homeless there.
Kansas won't put him on Medicaid until he become 65 or disabled.
