Default Interesting new pastime- Medical Tourism

It seems medical tourism is on the rise and many countries are actually promoting it. I just read an article on how Mexico is trying to gear up for American's that find the cost differences important when going to a different country to get their procedures done.

Is this an impact of our worsening financial problem here in the US or just a natural progression due to insurance issues that have been long standing for us all?
