It just so happens the next World Medical Tourism Conference is up and coming and it’s kind of interesting too as there’s another convention of insurance companies that takes place at the same hotel at the same time as the Tourism Conference. I noticed that last year when I attended for a day. Medical tourism and health insurance keep getting cozier.

If you want to read about what I learned last year, check out the link below and read about some of my discussions I had with folks from other countries. It was interesting to also hear how those from outside viewed our system as a big mess and a big potential for revenue.
