Related kind of, Healthcare tourism is getting bigger every year because prices here are out of control. A person can go on vacation to a different country and get a procedure and save enough money to pay for the vacation. I was in Asia for 17 days last month. Did the research and found a highly rated dentist in Vietnam and had a crown on a molar and a whitening. All for a whopping 300.00 out the door. I looked at the saving alone paid for my week there on vacation including hotel, food, and round trip from Bangkok. I have dental insurance and my copay would have been more than double on the crown alone. Whitening here would have been 500.00 at my dentist. Talked to someone who paid out of pocket for a hip replacement in Thailand. 6500.00 cash. Bangkok hospital is rated in the top 50 in the world.
Someone please blow a hole in this idea

That’s true, but it is a two-way thing.
Early in my career I went to hospitals all over the country. One of my busiest accounts was in Buffalo, with a lot of the patients coming in from Canada. These were complex spine surgeries, so a fairly niche thing.
