all I got back from this thread is a bunch of rhetorical comments when I am pointing out an obvious issue that has to be addressed at some point, and it will likely manifest itself into the margins that these suppliers are currently seeing, which, imho are way overinflated. Sunday, Sept. 4, 2005 MEDICAL TOURISM – Americans and others are going to exotic locales like India and Thailand for elective surgeries performed by world-class doctors at Third-World prices. Bob Simon reports. cbsnews.com (actually these are not 3rd world prices, they are MARKET PRICES) healthcare-holidays.com Believe me, I know this globalization issue well. Sorry, but the medical industry is not immune. And if investors think it is.... they will suffer for it. If all these elective procedures go offshore then that leaves the frail and poor to be taken care of here. I predict some kind of floating "medical cruise ships" at some point where procedures can be performed just outside of US territorial space.
