If there is such a vast difference in savings, why dont more people travel abroad for treatment?
The concept of Medical Tourism has been around for decades but until recently, it hasnt been under the global spotlight. In 2005 alone, over 500,000 Americans traveled abroad for medical tourism. With the increasing strain on the American healthcare system, more and more people are looking for new and innovative ideas to cut their healthcare spending. As medical tourism, and its benefits, obtain more publicity, it can be expected that it will be recognized as a commonly availed medical option in the near future.
