If the best option for healthcare in a country is for the citizens to leave the country, then that country is a complete failure. Healthcare isn't a luxury, it's a basic necessity for making sure your workforce is competitive, along with education. And the results of this failure are visible in statistics, in the US the average life expectancy is dropping, unlike in other first-world countries. That's bad for the US economy as a whole, which in turn is bad for you as an individual, which is why you should care. Also, healthcare is not just large interventions and procedures where travel cost can be offset by the ridiculous treatment costs in the US compared to another country, but the most important part of a healthcare system is the regular checkups and just having access to someone to look at you and talk to you, and make sure you can prevent larger problems in the future. Medical tourism can't supply that.
