This article describes how an uninsured man couldn't afford an surgery procedure that removed polyps blocking his nasal airways.  He is a smart shopper, and he shop around and found the cheapest procedure for $33,127.  It's still way too expensive for him.  However, he didn't just stop there, and he went on to UK and found a private hospital to do the same procedure including airfares for $2,930.  That's almost a tenth of the original cost.  


I think there is a great potential that we can leverage the globalization in the Healthcare industry where people can find affordable healthcare.  Obviously, we need to find a good and reliable healthcare providers.  Hey, a private hospital in UK isn't too bad, right?  May be we should utilize the healthcare providers in our neighbor Canada since they don't get much from the public sector.
