Medical Tourism
Medical tourism, or medical travel, is the act of traveling to other countries to obtain medical, dental, preventive and surgical care. With the rising costs of healthcare in the U.S., many people are not able to afford health insurance and cannot receive treatment for necessary or elective procedures. Traveling abroad for medical procedures costs (on average) 60-80% less than the same procedure in the U.S. and includes the leisurely aspect of traveling in the foreign country.
