When I was at the store a few hours ago, I saw the cover of the current US News and World Report magazine. I didn’t read it, but the cover story is on medical tourists. Medical tourists are Americans who go to other countries, especially India, for medical care because of the outrageous cost of health care here in America. However, I wouldn’t think that medical care abroad would be covered by insurance( I know my insurance doesn’t cover it), so I’d think it would still cost a lot of money. Plus, there’s the high expense of travel. So how can going to Asia for medical care save that much money? If you’ve been a medical tourist yourself, please share. Thank you.

Nope
interesting
Yes I have; however, I went to Costa Rica. The doctor that I saw was educated at Tulane in Louisiana, so I didn’t think his qualifications were less and I was right.
The treatment was less than half of what it would have cost me here in the US. The accomodations were excellent.
All in all, a good experience.
I don’t think I would go to Asia because I know very little about the area.
I have friends who have gone to Europe. Hungary, for some dental and plastic surgery. The experiences were good, according to what was told to me.
