At the present time the quality of healthcare in Thailand and the Czech Republic is similar to the USA. This despite the lower standard of living and much lower healthcare expenditures. With this in mind here are more reasons the comparison is fascinating:
- Czech Republic health care costs are ~1/4 of the USA with a nearly identical healthcare ranking.
- Thailand has a mixture of public and private insurance yet negotiated prices are still significantly cheaper.
- Foreigners travel (aka medical tourism) to these popular countries for world class health care at a reasonable price.
- The country populations of 69 and 11 Million span the number covered by Medicare and Veteran’s Affairs.
- Generics are available earlier in Thailand than in the USA.
- Brand name pharmaceuticals are manufactured in Thailand.
- Thailand is a popular choice for many drug trials because of the healthcare system.
- Great countries to visit for a vacation.
