Medical Tourism - Tombstone part 4

It is remarkable to read the Book Tombstone by Author Yang and marvel at granaries full as people starved.  In spite of the evidence from the VA scandal,  Romney/Obamacare marches on.  The VA scandal is all about lying, and "responsible parties" (mistakes were made, let's move on) unable to manage things when they are lied to.  But when nonsense is the party line, when all have gone absolutely mad, lying is self-preservation.  Truth is suicide. China had its whistleblowers too, all suffered, just as we have in USA today.

You cannot read Tombstone about 1960 China without seeing USA Today.



As communism marches on in USA, outside USA free market medicine is growing rapidly in response to the destruction of medicine in USA.  Two fellows with whom I was drinking Friday night both sang the praises if Bumrungrad Hospital in Thailand.
Bumrungrad was the first Asian hospital accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI), the international arm of the organization that reviews and accredits American hospitals.
Medicine does not cost a lot, it is just in the USA to advance communism we are charged a lot.  Medicine does not cost that much, it is just with patents and the State as the #1 customer they can charge that much.
Bumrungrad International is an internationally accredited, multi-specialty hospital located in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. Founded in 1980, today it is the largest private hospital in Southeast Asia, with 580 beds and over 30 specialty centers. Bumrungrad offers state-or-the-art diagnostic, therapeutic and intensive care facilities in a one-stop medical center.
Yes, one stop.  One of the fellows with which I was drinking mentioned a surgery in Thailand which cost less then the follow-up back in the States where a doctor changed the dressing.  $450 for surgery in Thailand, $500 to change the dressing in back in the... back in the...  back in the USA.  When surgery is $25,000 in USA, and 2 weeks in Thailand, surgery included, recovery at a beach resort is $4000... well... medical tourism.

Yes, world class medicine on a private model.  And as USA declines collectively to provide quality medicine, the world organizes to take up the slack.

And just as while people were starving in China, China was exporting grain, so USA doctors are heading out to find a better life.  None of this is unintended consequences, collectivization is the goal in all things in USA.  Get big or get out, that is federal policy.  As they say, don't fight the FED.

One can see what is going on and get angry, or one can realize there has never been "good times."  Happiness is around family, and joy is around working on solutions to problems.  So, looking at the world today, especially in USA, the most revolutionary thing you can do is start a business, and a family while you are at it.  And as for medical care, well, there is always Thailand, if you are in international trade.  Back in the ...back in the...
