Medical Tourism is DEFINITELY the future. It was slowly forming anyway, now much quicker.

The bottom line, save up a wad of cash...maybe $100k (or really about $20k plus your age in thousands, add 50% if married), and then be ready to fly (on a moment’s notice) to Costa Rica, India, or somewhere, where they speak enough English, have enough well-trained Western doctors (probably American refugees), cheap (but high-quality) local nurses, and no lawyers. Then your hip changeout or quad bypass costs maybe $20k (at most), and you’re fine.

Otherwise...wait until your turn under Stupak-care, maybe a year or two or three or more.

I could also see an airline popping up to specialize in transporting sick people, complete with medical equipment and doctors.
