Why is Medical Care Cheaper Outside the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom?
The short answer is that most popular medical tourism destinations are third world (developing) nations. Wages are lower, infrastructure costs are less, and physicians don’t normally pay exorbitant amounts for liability or malpractice insurance. It is also important to note that in the U.S, particularly, insurance and administrative costs take up much of the healthcare budget.
