SAVING ON SURGERY
In case you missed it in the New York Times a couple of Sundays ago, this is the story of how much less it costs to have high quality surgery done in places like Mexico and Belgium. Raising the questions: Why don’t foreign hospitals advertise for patients here? And why don’t US insurers offer patients cash to have surgeries abroad? “Yes, we’ll cover your hip replacement at your neighborhood hospital. But if you’ll let us fly you first-class to Brussels, we’ll also give you $10,000.” (Saving the insurer $40,000, in case you accept.) Airlines should start marketing this! Surgical tour packages. GET HIP – FLY SABENA!
