With ever rising costs of healthcare Dr. George explores different ways to receive quality care for an efficient price. Medical tourism, the practice of comfortably traveling abroad to have your medical procedure performed by highly qualified surgeons at some of the most advanced medical centers in the world, at a small fraction of the cost here in the U.S.. Dr. George introduces Jud Anglin from Med Retreat discusses medical tourism as viable cost effective option for people who have no insurance, high deductibles or are under insured.

The bureaucracy has cause complications in the U.S. healthcare system and it is forcing doctors out, causing a doctor shortage. We are led in a system trying to tell us there is no other option for quality care. Dr. George explains how other options will force the  U.S. Healthcare system to compete and drive prices down.
