Employers all over the world, and USA as top country, are looking for new alternatives that will help them to cut cost. Costs for healthcare have been a hot topic for many years. National healthcare expenditures reached $2.2 trillion in 2006 as mentioned by the Blue Cross Blueshield Association. So, small employers are saving money by sending their employees overseas for less expensive medical procedures. We are referring to health problems such as coronary artery bypasses, hip and knee replacements and spinal surgeries. These procedures cost 30%-80% less in foreign countries than in USA.
