My American Issues Project Article: The Upcoming Explosion of Medical Tourism

This week over at AIP, I wrote about the coming exodus of American doctors to foreign countries. They will invite their current patients to visit them there where they can be treated for what ails them and recuperate on the beach.

The article is titled,”The Upcoming Explosion of Medical Tourism.” Here’s a taste:

My favorite doctor retired several years ago. He spent a lot of time during his retirement practicing medicine in different countries. When asked why he did that, he said he could just practice medicine without all the red tape. Doctors who find themselves tired of dealing with the bureaucratic nightmare that the Democrats are trying to foist upon them have few options. They can continue to work in the system, they can quit or they can move their practice to a better locale and just practice medicine. Some have already made it clear: they’re leaving.

Given the situation of having to wait for months, possibly years, for surgery or going to the Bahamas for a week’s worth of treatment, what would you do? Medical tourism is already on the upswing. As the New York Times reports, some insurance companies are paying travel expenses to go overseas.

If the Democrats succeed in taking over health care, this market will really take off.

you are absolutely correct. What I expect to happen is Mexico will usher in all American doctors giving them less overhead and less red tape and protection from lawsuits. It would be foolish for them not to do so because not only would millions of deprived Americans come down to Mecxico and spend money while they are there but people from all over the world that used to come to America will detour to Mexico instead. It will make billions upon billions for the Mexican economy every year.
