If this passes, I am going to look into off shore insurance. There are excellent hospitals in China, India and the Philippines

You know, I sell insurance and was just talking about selling international plans yesterday. I was trying to figure out how to market it but I have a feeling it will not be too hard. The plans are always after me to market them. I also have a medivac "club" that will take you to any hospital in the world and pay 100% of the cost in an emergency. I was thinking of offering them both together. The legislation might kill my existing business, but new opportunities may open up as a result.

Yep. I am watching this all very closely indeed.

The democrats will shut down any attempt to do an end run around their health care plan. You will have to pay for it out of your taxes, and you will not be allowed to pay extra for any health care that you want. You will go through the same soup line as the homeless to have “equal” health care. That is their goal I shit you not.

When Clinton attempted this, I was talking to an OB GYN who was on the board of a foreign hospital. The hospital happened to be in a resort area. He and his family received free housing at the resort for two weeks, in return he handled a few births and went to a few meetings. We discussed tying the hospitals to resorts as one care package. American doctors get free vacations if they provide services for a week. But heck, there are plenty of Indian and Filipino docs willing to be on staff. Would not look much different than an American Hospital today. Get out patient surgery, spend two weeks recovering on a beach in Costa Rico. I would buy off shore insurance as a hedge against being denied care after age 65.
When my son had his surgery in China, the doc had to delay the surgery, he had to fly to the EU to work on a pro-soccer player. Sounds like my son had a pretty good surgeon.
