Americans Flee to India, and Elsewhere, for Better Health Care...

 

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

 

Saturday, January 7th, 2006

 

 

According to the newspaper " Times of India, " 150,000 people, mostly

from the United States, went to India last year for Medical care.

Called " medical tourism " the numbers are growing at 15% per annum and

by 2012, that " medical tourism " is expected to generate $2.3 billion

annually in India. As one representative of an Indian Hospital, Anne

Marie Moncure, MD, of Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, says, " Every year,

98,000 patients die in US hospitals due to medical negligence and

three to four times that number are left permanently-disabled. "

 

The United States Medical Care system, rated a poor seventy-second

(72nd), worldwide, has been teetering on the brink of destruction for

years now. Greed, malfeasance, misfeasance, grand corruption,

murderous intent, and a self-centeredness unequaled in history has led

the system to the abyss. The system, the most expensive in the world,

IS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF AMERICANS. Above heart disease, cancer

and stroke, the medical system, itself, is responsible for the

unnecessary deaths of 783,936 Americans EVERY YEAR. There are no

estimates of how many are damaged or disabled by it.

 

But, what we do know is who's responsible for this atrocity. There

are five culprits (1) the American Health Insurance Industry, (2)

" Big Pharma, " (3) the US medical regulatory system - the US FDA and

the individual State licensing boards that aren't doing their jobs,

(4) The " quackbuster " operation run by a New York ad agency, and (5)

US Network television. I'll explain below in a minute.

 

More, it's not just India that is providing better, safer,

cost-effective healthcare for Americans. Mexico, for instance, draws

huge numbers of Americans across the common border, who not only buy

cheaper, safer, medical care, but they buy first-rate dentistry at a

fraction of the cost in the US, and they buy pharmaceuticals by the

bag full at a tenth of the price of the same US offering. The border

clinics offer workable solutions to cancer, for instance, that are

almost completely outlawed in the US - yet have awesome success rates.

 

In the Northern States, Canada offers medications at less than half

the price - an easy drive, and lunch at a nice place. Europe and

Asia, also, blatantly offer Americans solutions to cancer and other

health issues not found in the US due to the restrictive policies of

the US FDA.

 

But last, and MOST IMPORTANT, is the US " underground medicine " system.

It's extensive. As far as Americans " fleeing elsewhere " for better

medical care, I'd guess this one outstrips all of the others combined.

 

Underground medicine?

---------------

 

This " Millions of Health Freedom Fighters - Newsletter " is a

NON-COMMERCIAL email newsletter about the politics of " Health Care " on

Planet Earth. It talks about the raging battle between the forces of

" Health " and " Medicine. " In the US, the ultra-expensive " Medical

System " has failed. It is the NUMBER ONE killer of Americans – ahead

of heart disease and cancer. That failing system protects itself, and

attacks its critics viciously. But, there are literally, " Millions "

of people forcing change on that system.

 

This newsletter is about all of that. Tim Bolen is an op/ed writer

with extensive knowledge, and contacts, on this subject.
