Ofcourse, I would obviously want more patients to be staying in the US to have treatment.
And for the most part they do. Most of our bread an butter services are noninvasive procedures that can be done in US.
Other more expensive services can be covered by insurance, and for the most part we haven’t seen a huge loss because of medical off shoring.

On the on the other hand, the ethical side of this debate has to be taken into account. The fact IS that many people really cannot afford life saving surgery in the US, even with some form of insurance.
So if a patient can get adequate service in a foreign country, then that is not something we should be fighting.
Its one thing to deny a person who wants to fix their computer the pleasure of speaking to an American, its quite another to deny a patient who cant afford necessary surgery in the States the opportunity to have it done abroad.

The problem is not in whether people should or shouldnt go to foreign country for service, after all, open markets capitalism dictates that people will go where the price is cheapest, the problem is whther we in the US can make health care more affordable and thus encourage people to seek care within the US.

No one will want to go to a foreign country if the can help it, because they know the quality over all, in the US, is far superior then say in India or even Mexico. The challenge is in providing these people affordability so they no longer need to go offshore.

You seem to be a man of a noble mien who is willing to sacrifice a few dollars for the sake of the humanity, magnanimous indeed.

Keeping the characteristics pertaining to deal with principles of morality in mind, the citizens of the civilized nation such as The United States should not even have to be vexed with burden of the cost of healthcare themselves, instead it should be taken care of by the government and its ilk ----- similar to the mode of action that has been taken by the government of our next door neighbor Canada ----- where all the medical expenses are covered by the government ----- no questions asked ----- which eventually led Canada to have content and pleased citizens, better paid doctors and seemingly solvent and trustworthy government ----- perhaps it is not only possible but also, about time for us to follow in to the foot steps of our neighbor by stop spending whopping 4.5 billion dollars a day on needless wars instead, trying to reach congruity by confabulation and spend our money on public benefits such as Healthcare System etc ----- don’t you think so?

Nuff said!
