So it costs $100K to have open heart surgery in the US and it costs 1/10th that outside the US. That isn't from medical malpractice (2% of total costs), it's from what?

Offshoring of expensive medical procedures has been going on for some time, and is increasingly likely in the future. S. Africa and India are two places actively chasing this business. The future will be interesting.
