[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 245945, member: 1944"] The number of people leaving the U.S. for medical tourism is growing, Dr. Kevin Schulman, a health economist at Duke University, said. For example, in India, a new heart hospital charges $2,000 for heart bypass surgery, he said. Now thats funny, (not) That is less than what I will owe for my husbands bypass after all is sorted out. I consider myself very lucky, that I had insurance. But if I hadnt, would they have turned him away and let him die? With a govt run system, would have he had to wait four months...which he wouldnt have survived, or is the waiting a myth? Ive never been refused treatment, even when I was uninsured, but I had to pay for it. At a higher rate than those insured. [/QUOTE]
