"His son said, 'Does this mean I can't go to college?'

Go study abroad, young man. Much cheaper and possibly better.

Jennifer Morcone, a spokeswoman with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, "If you travel outside this nation, the same protections that are built into the health-care delivery system here may not apply."

Good joke, using health-care abroad is better than no care at all and India has some real centers of excellence. BTW, other developed nations have longer life expectancy than USA, despite lower prices.

I forgot to mention above that the Bangkok dentist was a vastly better experience (faster, more skilled, less painful) than having the other 3 wisdoms removed in the States (2 by a U.S. Navy dentist, one by an expensive "dental surgeon").

I've heard other excellent reports from people who've used Bangkok hospitals ... and of course they have pretty nurses.

Where did you get the info on life expectancy?
Last report I read, Indian men had a life expectancy of about 65, lower than American men.
