In the UK yesterdays papers were full of discussion about what was referred to as ” Healthcare

Tourism”.

In a nutshell this is where citizens of other countries use the UK’s National Health Service to obtain medical assistance .  It is claimed that this is often not just for emergencies but in some cases for routine procedures.

You can read more about it here at the BBc web site http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24616801

So what do you think about healthcare tourism in your country.  It would be great if you could provide some feedback by taking our poll below.  Fell free to use the comments box to expand your thoughts.

Thanks very much in advance
