not sure where your confidence comes from, though i hope you are correct. i don't see it yet though. in the US healthcare market the payment model will have to change before Indian healthcare market prices have an impact. in other words, US legislation that takes money away from the current system of providers would need to be passed. (i mean, why doesn't the US medicare/medicaid system take advantage of the lower costs you're describing by flying US patients to hospitals in other countries for major, expensive procedures and other treatments? they could save a lot of money, but US law does not currently allow payment to providers all over the world.) US hospitals, doctors, pharma, etc have created a closed system wherein they are the only service and product providers. i think they like that aspect of the current system. they've built themselves a moat and globalization cannot enter.
