    Medical tourism.

    Many countries like Thailand have heavily invested in modern technology and training for their countries so that Americans and Europeans can visit and pay a small percentage of the uninsured American price for the same quality of medical care immediately and within your budget.

    You get great, affordable medical care on your timeline, poorer countries raise their gdp and can afford better social care and enjoy a boosted economy for their whole country.

      Americans and Europeans can visit

      Not many Europeans need this. Americans, definitely. What an awful healthcare system in the US.

        Sure, this tip is for the Americans and Europeans and Australians who could benefit from medical tourism, not from those who couldn’t.

    Don’t worry, us Brits don’t seem to be too far behind. Can’t wait to decorate bankruptcy for the first time!

    I have medicaid thankfully… but this also means I have to keep my income low or else I’ll go broke trying to afford therapy and medicine…

    I’m actually Moroccan, but I still think this will apply to me given how expensive surgery is over here.

    It’s definitely not as expensive as the US, but still.
