Statistically, the US health care costs are almost twice those of most other developed nations. However, many of those nations require much longer waiting periods, etc., for surgeries, and specialized care/treatments, etc., so there are tradeoffs...both pro and con. There are some nations which do a thriving business in "tourist" healthcare....Thailand, for one, which has a very good reputation for inexpensive heart care. IMO, our nation would be well advised to look at what works so well in other nations, rather than locking our people completely into our present "for Profit" system. I would consider going to another nation for a specific treatment, but would never consider moving permanently just for health care.
