Whoa! Is he ever going to take heat from his constituency for that one!

Still, the US is not exactly a preferred destination for most medical tourism. I wonder why he made that decision?

Since he no doubt lacks US medical insurance, it's going to cost him a bundle, too. Maybe he is wealthy enough that it doesn't matter.

Surely you don't consider insurers competing across state lines and tort reform to be "massive reforms." What, exactly, are you advocating then?

I have no doubt that, once they have the money, they spend it more efficiently. Some of them use fund raisers that keep up to 80% of the money for their services.

I have serious doubts that charity is going to be able to raise enough money to pay for indigent medical care, however.
