I believe the next step in medical tourism is in-country medical travel. We all cannot go to India for care, but we can go to selected hospitals across the country. Once the threat of steering patients to a competing hospital becomes a reality, more domestic hospitals will begin to compete for patient based on price.

BTW, your perspective on the international market for care is distinctly different than that of most other people.

I understand they are also giving package price quotes to Canadians.

So US hospitals can be transparent — so long as there is money in it for them.
