    It has been brought out that many Americans cannot afford to have their needed surgery due to cost. So, guess what? Medical care is now being outsourced. People are going to places like India, Thailand, Mexico, and Panama to get the surgery that they need. I found this to be an interesting story.

    Here's the site for the hospital/s info.: www.planethospital.com

    It is cheaper to have dental work done in mexico-travel and all, than to pay for the co-payments here. Plastic surgery is MUCH cheaper to have done elsewhere. I think that the language barrier would possibly deter me from such a course, but if 40 keeps on hitting me like a Mack truck, I might soon change my tune. Gravity got me-thats all I can say!

    JWdaughter it's got me wondering if I should give it a try too. The cosmetic procedures are cheaper in foreign hospitals. Now that they're making the hospitals overseas state of the art, and also doing "Joint Commission" checks, it seems to be a cheaper and safer alternative.

    (there, their, they're) Homonyms get me every time.
