  I would like to see someone that would disinherit the regulatory agencies that are creating so many stupid laws that are holding our country back. Too bad I couldn't resurrect George Washington and Benjamin Franklin because I think they would make better presidents than any we have now, and they would probably do away with all those agencies we don't need. They would also do away with the parasitical Federal Reserve system that has created so much inflation since its inception, draining the economy.

  Dennis Kucinich...........he's running, and did run for the last election also, but the US wasn't ready for him..............I was listening to him on PBS last night, and I think he's got some FANTASTIC ideas..........if he got in, there would be a total shake up. Unfortunately, I don't think he'll get elected he's too ahead of the times for most people..........

  "let me turn our health care system into a model of efficiency like Great Britains and Canadashahahahahehehehahahaha" Clinton? Triple WOW!!!!"

  Are you mentally unfit? Because that is one of the more stunningly fatuous comments I've come across in a long time. Given that Great Brittan and Canada's health care systems are, by all objective measures, much more efficient than America's, they would rightly qualify as "models of efficiency". I'll spell that out for the less thoughtful: because they are much more efficient, a less efficient system could learn from them, copy them, use them as a "model", to make their own less efficient system more efficient.

  The other annoying aspect of your comment is that, unfortunately, Hillary as proposed no such thing.

  This explains why wealthy Canadians are driving across the border to pay for medical procedures they can't get in any reasonable time frame at home.

  "Wealthy" people can fly, drive, run/walk, segway, or take a train anywhere they damn well please, so long as they can find a specialist who wants to take their money. My comment, and the previous poster's comment, was not about "wealthy" people, but about health-care-systems. Of which, Canada and the UK have OBJECTIVELY more efficient systems for their populations. "Population", btw, is another word for "people", which is also sometimes expressed "society".

  ps... why are not-necessarily wealthy Americans flying to India or Southeast Asia or Costa Rica for expensive-in-the-US procedures?

  • Going under the knife abroad: Medical tourism industry booms as health costs rise
    McALLEN — Knee-replacement surgery in Kerala? How about a triple-bypass in Mumbai? For thousands of Rio Grande Valley residents who lack sufficient medical insurance for costly procedures like hip replacements and bypass surgery, McAllen resident Hari Namboodiri says he has an answer — but it’s half a world away in India.

  • Kerala to Venture into Medical Tourism - The latest buzzword in Kerala is medical tourism with the state government appearing to have cracked the winning combination of fun and well.

  • Surgeries, Side Trips for 'Medical Tourists' - Affordable Care at India's Private Hospitals Draws Growing Number of Foreigners
    " Howard Staab learned that he suffered from a life-threatening heart condition and would have to undergo surgery at a cost of up to $200,000 -- an impossible sum for the 53-year-old carpenter from Durham, N.C., who has no health insurance."
    So he outsourced the job to India." Taking his cue from cost-cutting U.S. businesses, Staab last month flew about 7,500 miles to the Indian capital, where doctors at the Escorts Heart Institute & Research Centre -- a sleek aluminum-colored building across the street from a bicycle-rickshaw stand -- replaced his balky heart valve with one harvested from a pig. Total bill: about $10,000, including round-trip airfare and a planned side trip to the Taj Mahal.
  • Heal Better, Heal Faster - Quality medical treatment at low cost, coupled with great traveling experience is possibly the perfect way to recover from any medical ailment. Medical treatment is a costly affair in developed nations that has made patients from these countries think twice before undergoing any medical treatment in their own country. As such, they find it more beneficial to avail treatment in foreign countries offering similar and even better medical services at a far more economical cost. An inexpensive vacation package combined with a low cost medical treatment has led to the evolution of a new but rapidly growing industry called medical tourism.
  • Durano makes a pitch for medical tourism - Tourism Secretary Joseph Ace Durano expressed confidence the biggest hospitals in the Philippines will soon invest in providing hotel services to their patients as part of the government’s Medical Tourism Program. He said hospitals should offer facilities and services also found in hotels to attract foreign patients.
  • Tapping Medical Tourism for cost savings - The National Coalition on Health Care reports about 500,000 Americans traveled overseas last year to undergo surgeries that would have cost two to three times more in the United States. Medical tourism has risen in the last few years, with U.S .
  • Why is India most suitable ? : As Indian corporate hospitals are on par, if not better than the best hospitals in Thailand, Singapore, etc there is scope for improvement, and the country may become a preferred medical destination. In addition to the increasingly top class medical care, a big draw for foreign patients is also the very minimal or hardly any waitlist as is common in European or American hospitals. In fact, priority treatment is provided today in Indian hospitals.
  • Come for the surgery, stay for the sites: Brokers lining up patients for Indian hospitals and post-op sightseeing tours. Indian hospitals are keen to tap what has become a lucrative overseas market, and are doing so with the blessing of a government that's aggressively marketing "medical tourism" as a source of foreign revenue.
