Why are medical, dental, and cosmetic treatment and surgery so inexpensive in other countries?
The standard of living is significantly lower in these countries and the difference between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies gives you better value for their money in most countries offering medical tourism. The costs for malpractice insurance and other costs faced by medical facility operators in the U.S. are much higher than in other countries. These costs are in turn passed to you, the patient, when you go in for medical treatment in the United States.
