      For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

        Can you find sites for countries not in the 3rd World Lancer?

          Very likely. I just search the words 'medical tourism' and add whatever country. I'll try for Canada and add the link here.

            Nope, I've looked through a few pages. I know Americans go to Canada for medical treatments but can't find a link, sorry.

            Besides, it's kind of third world.

            I'll look through some more pages, but it doesn't look good.

              There's GOT to be a way to run the American health care system much less expensively than its run now.

              For an industrialized country, South Korea spends a very very very low % of its GDP on medicine but the level of care is pretty decent. Very little paperwork, some government support without too much government control and lots of cheapo little clinics.

              Of course there's some problems like doctors getting lifetime liscences that almost never got revoked and employer/government supported insurance not covering dental or a lot of the more expensive elective surgeries...

                If I had to travel out of country, I'd rather avoid a country actively engaged in a civil war or one in which I didn't have full confidence in the medical system they had.

                  "There's GOT to be a way to run the American health care system much less expensively than its run now."

                  I agree Bosh. Did you read Zkribs link or my second link? Lots of good info.

                  DinoDoc, the Philippines is safe as long as you don't go to the extreme southern most part of the southenmost island. I live in Oregon and don't worry about the LA gangs. Same thing. I've been there 5 times now for a total of about 16 months if you combine all the trips. Never felt threatened at all. Also, there are well over 100,000 Americans living permanantly in the Phils. I think it's safer than Oregon myself, and Oregon is pretty safe.

                      DinoDoc, here's a site that contains links for medical tourism in Argentina and Costa Rica among others.

                      MedRetreat is America's most trusted Medical Tourism company facilitating Medical Travel programs for North Americans seeking affordable surgery abroad.
