I can’t see a country of old timers moving around the world to get health care. If one spouse goes, the other will have to go. Who has that kind of money as a retiree? Will the Feds provide funds for airfare & room and board ? ain’t happening.

Major surgery overseas can cost significantly less, including airfare and hotel, than here in the states.

A secondary benefit is that it will "light a fire" under the AMA monopoly and the Insurance and Tort lawyer cartels.

(of course, that may be precisely why it will not get past Congress even though it would save a ton of money!)

Competition is good!

Well said, BwanaNdege. Competition is good. We need to break up the monopoly, which will make everything more effective... or dead. We need to open our minds to find creative solutions. You said it exactly right.
