Yeah... but nobody books a trip to India just for medical care either.

"Foreign patients travelling to India to seek medical treatment in 2012, 2013 and 2014 numbered 171,021, 236,898, and 184,298 respectively" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_tourism_in_India)

Yeah, and 500,000 seek treatment in the US every year.

There are many people that do, and they save thousands. It is especially good for common procedures, like LASIK, dental work, etc.

You save thousands for a reason.

By not paying non-negotiated rates for medical care? Sounds like a good reason to me.
