I was out running an errand this afternoon and on the way back to the office I was listening to the local PBS station which was playing the audio for today's Lehrer NewsHour.
One of the pieces was about getting health care outside the US - in particular Thailand. They talked with two people getting elective surgery (knee replacement for one and a tummy tuck for the other) and an official and a couple of docs at one of the largest such hospital in Thailand (Bumrungrad). There was also some insurance guy suggesting that future health care plans may start offering cheaper rates if for some high cost operations you would be willing to be sent overseas. If you're in the right timezone then you can still catch the west coast TV broadcast (or perhaps the later repeat). It should show up on their website later too.
