Sure, check wikipedia on medical tourism. An order of magnitude more people leave the US than enter to seek medical treatment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_tourism#United_States

My point in finding one was that sensational stories about fund raising for medical treatment make easy news filler. Linking to any of them is meaningless!

America has a medicore health care system. We excel in some experimental treatments, and have some great medical centers for those with money.

Meanwhile we rank equal to Cuba on life expectancy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expec...
