As soaring costs are sending Americans abroad for healthcare, a new study projects they'll spend $68 billion annually by 2010 for overseas treatment. Besides that cost, it could pressure U.S. providers to deliver quality for less. "As you see other cultures where the outcomes look very favorable, then we'll see more people questioning why we can't provide that level of care at similar costs," says Jeffrey Moe, left.
