I would be curious to know if the same cancer treatment is available and costs the same in a place like Singapore, or Australia, or even Mexico.
- acabal 14y agoI'm hedging my bets in that way; should I be diagnosed with something serious like cancer, I'll probably just fly to be treated with first-world health care at a reasonable price and in a tropical setting, in the country where my family lives. Unrelatedly, I was recently in Monterrey, Mexico, where there's a huge industry around medical tourism; get treated with class just a few hours south of the border. Despite what many Americans believe, hospitals outside the US are not candlelit caves staffed with black-toothed surgeons holding meat cleavers.
