3. Many places with so-called "universal" health care are headed that way.
There are tiers of service. Wait three years for that hip, or go somewhere else to get it, and pay for it.

Medical tourism is becoming a big thing. People go to India and elsewhere for operations, and do a little sightseeing.

I have friends who get dental work in Brazil all the time. Way cheaper than here....
