    Medical tourism.

    Many countries like Thailand have heavily invested in modern technology and training for their countries so that Americans and Europeans can visit and pay a small percentage of the uninsured American price for the same quality of medical care immediately and within your budget.

    You get great, affordable medical care on your timeline, poorer countries raise their gdp and can afford better social care and enjoy a boosted economy for their whole country.

      TFW your healthcare system is so fucked it creates an exploitable niche market for a country you don’t even share a border with.

        To be fair, that market was already exploited in their two bordering countries, so the non-bordering countries were the logical next step.

      Americans and Europeans can visit

      Not many Europeans need this. Americans, definitely. What an awful healthcare system in the US.

        Sure, this tip is for the Americans and Europeans and Australians who could benefit from medical tourism, not from those who couldn’t.
