Borders are no barrier to affordable healthcare

There are two key considerations I think are very indicative of the changing times of American healthcare. First of all, the Consumer Driven Model emerging as the primary vehicle of healthcare insurance. And secondly, the effects on domestic medical costs should this trend continue.

Self-financing still boutique business. 3rd party payments, e.g insurance will be the future.

Healthcare in the United States continues to skyrocket out of control and will certainly play another role in the presidential elections.  As healthcare premiums rise and become more and more difficult for people and small organizations to afford, solutions need to be sought after, even if it means looking for affordable solutions abroad. This is exactly what some are doing as we speak. ...

This new trend of going elsewhere for significant medical issues is a damning commentary of how are healthcare and its administration has deteriorated. Why should things be "so" expensive in the US? Drugs, proceedures, telemedicine-all are being "exported" out of the country because of costs.
