据阿根廷《号角报》报道,近年来拉美国家的医疗旅游业蓬勃发展,将成为21世纪拉美的主要产业之一。超过1亿的美国人将在今后30年步入退休年龄,其中很多人没有能力支付美国越来越高的医疗费。现在去巴拿马、墨西哥、哥斯达黎加、哥伦比亚、阿根廷、智利等国进行心脏手术、外科整形或看牙的美国人越来越多。在这些国家看病,他们只需花在美国一半的钱,却能得到更加人性化的服务。 According to the report by the Argentine newspaper “Clarion”, the medical tourism industry in Latin American countries has been booming in recent years and will become one of the major industries in Latin America in the 21st century. More than 100 million Americans will reach retirement age in the next 30 years, many of whom are unable to pay higher and higher US medical bills. More and more Americans now go to heart surgery, plastic surgery or dentistry in Panama, Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Argentina and Chile. To see a doctor in these countries, they only need to spend half of the money in the United States, but they can get more humane services.
