| Travel offers savings but not enough to aid reform - Forbes Posted: 22 Aug 2009 08:19 AM PDT Medical tourism trips offer steep savings, but they don't pack enough financial might to play a key role in President Obama's push to lower U.S. health care costs. Medical travel cost U.S. health care providers about $5.1 billion in business in 2007, according to estimates by Paul Keckley, executive director of the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions. While significant, that amounts to less than 1 percent of the $2.36 trillion spent on health care in the United States that year. Medical tourism can yield savings of as much as 80 percent on some procedures compared to care in the United States. But traveling isn't for everyone and these trips are generally not an option for emergencies. A patient's willingness to travel for non-emergency care often depends on the savings at stake. With a low deductible and no incentives from an insurer or employer to travel, a patient may have little motivation to make a trip. Any result from the Washington reform push is unlikely to affect medical tourism, Keckley said, because it won't lower costs enough to erase price gaps with foreign care providers.

| MOST POPULAR STORIES - Daytona Beach News-Journal Posted: 22 Aug 2009 08:19 AM PDT DAYTONA BEACH -- One man is dead, an 18-year-old woman is brain-dead and her twin sister is hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after the sports utility vehicle they were riding in flipped over several times early this morning. Another man is hospitalized in stable condition, according to a news release by Daytona Beach police Sgt. Jimmie Flynt. Police are investigating the 2:16 a.m. accident that killed Kelvin G. Henry, 25, who was pronounced dead at Halifax Health Medical Center. Tire tracks left on Nova Road near George Engram Boulevard indicate the northbound SUV was traveling at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control, Flynt said. It is not known who was driving because several people were ejected from the vehicle, which came to rest in the opposing lane, Flynt said. Three people injured in the crash were not identified in the news release. The brain-dead woman and another who sustained life-threatening injuries are twin sisters, Flynt said. Their next of kin has not been notified. Another male involved in the crash was uninjured. Another vehicle, traveling southbound, hit the overturned car, Flynt said. It is not know whether alcohol was a factor in these crashes. Speed does appear to be a factor, however, Flynt said. The investigation is ongoing.
