The Cost of My Mother’s Cardiac Care in the United States and India
Great read. This just show how evil for-profit medicine really is. The fact that the pay is so high in the west is disturbing. I really pray we see a single-payer socialised system in our lifetime in the US. Growing up with socialised medicine has shown me the truth. No doctor, no matter how talented, needs to make what they do. All of this should be government run as a non-profit. Government should mandate and force all pharmaceutical companies into non-profit status as well for the good of mankind.<p>I'm sick to death of not being able to go to hospital here in the US, even with insurance, because what with the co-pays and deductibles, it costs a fortune. I just don't go, and I am in need of surgery that I cannot afford.<p>QUESTION:<p>Would an Indian facility in India treat me for a relatively small amount of money? Even after the flights, it would still be cheaper than the $22k I've been quoted here by multiple sources.
