You get cheap, non-union, staff, and no lawsuits.
Overall, a win-win, from what I can tell.
What makes you think it avoids the lawsuits? I suspect a US court would take jurisdiction of a dispute between an American doctor and an American patient.
One of the milestones of America becoming a 3rd world country - people fleeing the country to get medical treatment because government makes it unavailable or too expensive at home.
No middleman insurers. Straight up cash.
But how is the post-surgery care?
Gotta worry bout the aftercare...i.e infections...icu services...cardiac monitoring...inhalation treatments...pharmaceuticals...hospital cleanliness...but it might be cheaper for insurance company to build hospital and run it to american standards without unions...bennies...lawsuits...could be a better deal..
