its even more likely, foreign firms will set up operations here, paying their workers at home wages, and rotating them in and out every five years or so so it wont be immigration, so profits will be higher and wages much lower. This will likely happen in dozens of service industries soon.

Re: overseas testing standards often higher- thats likely because US HMOs pressure labe to be less accurate.

HMOs hate the way that Americans can go overseas and get better testing there than they can here and then come back here and get treatment from their HMO that devoted a lot of energy into making it impossible for them to get diagnosed.

Some HMOs run their own in house labs now..

US labs have changed their standards to please US HMOs who want them to find that most people are healthy even when they aren't..
