Medical Tourism and HTH Worldwide’s New iPhone App
Thursday, November 19th, 2009How will the current U.S. health care debate and subsequent legislation impact expatriates? Well, one reality might be that Americans might go abroad to secure health care procedures when that appears to be the most logical option. And that situation might be more common in the future than anyone would like. Over the years we’ve read a lot of posts on ExpatExchange.com that show people tend to believe that the health care system in their home country is the best. Surveys obviously exists that rank health care systems by country, and a lot of Americans and Brits might be surprised to see where they rank. Naturally, many of these are subjective, but the point is that many Americans or Brits will find no other choice than to look elsewhere. Maybe they’ll find that life abroad is not so bad after all! It’s already being called a “growth industry.”
Also, if you have an iphone and might be moving to France (or already live there), checkout HTH Worldwide’s new mPassport app. Never leave anything to chance about your health abroad, and this seems to be a real nice way to give yourself some peace of mind.
