How much are you worth?

 

And since when should money be a deciding factor on whether or not a person receives the medical care or drugs he or she needs to survive?

 

For example, depending on the type of procedure or surgery that is performed, cardiac surgeries have widely differing price ranges. However, they are among the most expensive surgical procedures performed in the United States. Coronary bypass surgery can cost up to $20,000 for one bypass, more if additional bypasses are required. A heart transplant can cost over  $150,000!

 

Highly acclaimed facilities and cardiac surgeons can be found in Jordan, Thailand and Singapore for a fraction of the costs in the U.S. For example, an angioplasty balloon procedure in the U.S. can cost up to $57,000, while in India, the cost hovers around $11,000 and in Thailand the same procedure costs about $13,000.

 

Laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure in the United States costs roughly (and a minimum) of $30,000. In India, the cost averages about $16,500. In Mexico and South American destinations, costs may average between $9,800 and $13,000. 

 

Liposuction costs and treatments are defined by the area where fat is located and the anatomical focus. To put it quite simply, larger areas cost more. For example, the cost of liposuction to the lower abdomen costs around $2,000 in the United States. Liposuction to the outer thighs may cost $1,600 each. Medical tourists may benefit through cosmetic surgery procedures centers in Argentina, where charges costs are less, generally under $3,000, which in many cases includes lodging. Liposuction in India costs one tenth of what it costs in the United States.

Research has shown that medical tourism, or the desire to travel internationally and across borders for health reasons has become a viable alternative for the treatment and care of the specialized health issues experienced by this group of people from around the world.

 

After comparing the cost of procedures in the United States, Europe, South America, and Asia, most baby boomers are combining their retirement desires with ongoing medical care by traveling to various destinations for their needs.

 

American boomers needing dental care and prescriptions often travel south of the border into Mexico or even as far as Brazil, Argentina, and Costa Rica for their needs. Dental procedures as well as medications in Latin American countries is less than half of what comparable procedures and medications cost in the United States.

 

Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia are popular destinations for those needing hip or knee replacement surgeries. Hungry and Poland are popular for their for dental and cosmetic procedures (at great savings).

 

Hospitals in South America or Asia generally cost one half of the price charged in the United States and Europe. Cardiac and orthopedic surgeries performed in India can save health travelers nearly $20,000 or more with one surgical procedure.

 

The most common afflictions and conditions experienced by boomers today are:

 

·        Kidney disease

·        Arterial sclerosis

·        Osteoporosis

·        Breast, lung, and colon cancer

·        Stroke

·        Joint Complaints: bursitis, arthritis, tendonitis

 

Dentistry in Poland, heart care surgery in Central America, clinics in Egypt, orthopedic surgery in Thailand or orthopedic surgery in South Africa are just a few of the possibilities waiting for you.

 

Research your options for world-class and affordable medical tourism destinations. You won’t be disappointed.

Since when should an individual have to choose between a life-saving operation and the potential financial ruin of his or her family? Due to the outrageous cost of health care in the U.S., and especially those that involve any kind of heart surgery procedure, more Americans today are taking their chances by not choosing potentially life-saving cardiovascular surgery procedures.


Depending on the type of procedure or surgery that is performed, cardiac surgeries have widely differing price ranges. However, they are among the most expensive surgical procedures performed in the United States. Coronary bypass surgery can cost up to $20,000 for one bypass, more if additional bypasses are required. A heart transplant can cost over $150,000!


However, options are available for many types of heart surgery abroad, and fine ones at that. Heart surgeons and facilities found throughout the globe offer high-tech, state-of-the-art medical equipment, accredited and highly trained cardiac surgeons and general heart care in such treatments as heart valve replacement surgery, coronary bypass surgery, and even heart transplant procedures.


Highly acclaimed facilities and cardiac surgeons can be found in Jordan, Thailand, Turkey and Singapore for a fraction of the costs in the U.S. For example, an angioplasty balloon procedure in the U.S. can cost up to $57,000, while in India, the cost hovers around $11,000 and in Thailand the same procedure costs about $13,000.


No one should feel that they must weigh between health and the wallet. Medical tourism abroad offers alternatives to such drastic decisions.
