We need to set up some health care providers that are connected directly to respected hospitals in Thailand. For surgeries that are not time sensitive but expensive in the US, do a precheck in the US. Buy a ticket for the prospective patient, setup the surgery and send them to Thailand. A $50,000 surgery in the US could probably be had for about $15,000 including airfare, surgery, stay for loved one and a nice vacation afterwards. Save about $35,000.
Insurance companies need to buy into this system. The health insurance companies can save millions. The patients get the necessary surgeries and a nice stay in Thailand (that's the incentive to go). Additionally the staff here in Thailand are going to be 10 times more helpful, respectful and just plain nice.
Perhaps there is an opportunity for insurance companies in Thailand to sell catastrophic health care insurance to persons and families in other countries. The coverage is just for operations and major medical issues serviced in Thailand. The insurance company can setup hospitals and accomodations to service their plan.
