Medical Outsourcing

I read an interesting post on the Ben Muse blog discussing a new trend, the outsourcing of medical expenses. It discusses a patient who received a medical procedure in India saving himself thousands of dollars. With the enormous medical expenses that we are faced with, and with them continuing to rise at such an alarming rate, this type of outsourcing is surely to gain much more in popularity. Unless the medical companies face the problem head-on and address it, they may begin to lose thousands of dollars in medical expenses due to this new form of competition.
