Today, I saw a video report on CNN.com which continues their excellent coverage of the tragic status of American healthcare costs. I think it's worth watching for practically anyone.

This video report is part of an ongoing number of reports on healthcare costs. This one addresses hospital cost, particularly. Although the issue of medical tourism is not mentioned, it is certainly relevant.
For the average U.S. citizen, the situation may seem almost hopeless. I am proud that I can be here to offer my help and the help of DentaRica. Simply said, we don't do all that much in terms of health. The most important thing we do is arrange for the attention of good doctors and dentists, and/or a stay in a good hosptial. That's the most important thing, wherever the healthcare takes place. As everyone already knows, a bad doctor, whether U.S. or foreign, is a recipe for disaster. How does DentaRica make sure the doctors and hospitals are good? We research their reputation, credentials, actual patient experiences, and actual performance. Many of these doctors are certified by the American Medical Association, and dentists likewise through the American Dental Association. In Costa Rica, my company is part of a network of quality insurance that requires members to maintain high standards and international accreditation.
That's usually not enough, however. Once you have a good doctor, a person's healthcare will drastically improve when he or she can afford all of what they need. And when we put those two advantages together, throw in some travel assistance and advice about local situations, and you have what DentaRica offers, in a nut shell.
