<<<People from all over the world come to America to receive medical care when their country lacks th facilities. Britain and Canada are two major sources of foreign medical "tourists".>>>

There is nothing wrong with that. I hope we contnue to be the destination for those people. Its probably good for our economy, but will they take the 47 million of our citizens without health insurance.

Put it another way: Just how many of these rich Europeans are there that want to come here versus how many (the number) of Americans (maybe not 47 million) without health insurance and not poor enough to qualify for medicaid?

Most medical tourists are not coming to the US, they are going to emerging countries like India with much less expensive (and high quality) procedures. That includes many Americans.
