100%. I have known a couple of people that did some form of "medical tourism", mostly for expensive dental work. In both cases they did some form of tech contract work as a sole proprietorship and bought their own health insurance (not through a partner). The overlap of people who can save up thousands of dollars for treatment abroad and have poor health insurance is probably not too large.




I know it's popular with the US transgender community, looking for gender reassignment surgery.

Cost of travel to Thailand < savings on medical procedures (with equivalent or better outcomes)
