Forty-seven million uninsured Americans are looking increasingly to the medical tourism market for affordable medical care.

The per capita cost of health care in the United States is about twice that in other major industrialized countries. Overall, U.S. health care costs have risen to over 15% of the Gross Domestic Project. It is no surprise.!

Congress can’t fix the health care system. A single bill squeezed through the House and Senate won’t eliminate the high costs, spiraling premiums, inadequate coverage, denial.

Let’s face it. We are sick of healthcare. We are sick because we don’t have healthcare. We are sick because we (or people we love) can’t afford healthcare.

It is expected that medical tourism will become a $40 billion business by 2010. The projected increase in the number of American medical tourists is from 750,000 in 2007 to 15.75 million in 2017.

Medbirds is a U.S.-based medical tourism facilitator that connects patients to leading medical facilities in Thailand and India for affordable, high-quality health care.
