 Because of cost, Americans are outsourcing their healthcare. An estimated 3 million Americans travel to Mexico, India, Thailand, Manila, Singapore and other destinations to receive medical are and to purchase prescription medications.  Terry is one example. As a teacher in California, he had medical insurance. But after Terry retired, he was diagnosed with stenosis, a narrowing of the spine. He shared his story with us. We also spoke with Saroja Mohanasundaram of Healthbase Online (www.healthbase.com) about setting up Medical Tourism travel packages.
