Description:
More than 47 million Americans lack health insurance. An equal number have health insurance that is inadequate to cover their medical needs. These two groups, the uninsured and the underinsured, are growing each year as healthcare coverage becomes more expensive and fewer employers offer healthcare benefits. The healthcare crisis is considered to by many to be the most important public policy issue facing our nation. Patients are faced with choosing between needed surgery and groceries. One of the leading causes of bankruptcy in the U.S. is healthcare expenses. The cost of surgery for uninsured patients is typically 50% to 80% more in the U.S. than in countries like India, Thailand, Costa Rica and Mexico. Global MD Inc. links patients to an elite network of medical providers in Asia
