I don’t know if this is good news or bad, but I think it’s a sign of our times: that we have so many people going abroad for health care treatments. Personally, I think it’s an indictment of the many gaps in our broken healthcare system.

Maybe this is an example of a “market-based” solution? Your BCBS insurance will cover you…as long as you go to a low cost, overseas, (potentially) high risk provider?! I say this with both serious and sarcastic intent as the big providers are seriously considering this option, with some already offering this alternative with incentives to subscribers!
