With its profusion of languages, ethnic groups and regional diversities, with its unique caste system, with its contrast between information technology and industry billionaires and the nearly 300 million people who live below the poverty line, with its mixture of Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent philosophy and outbreaks of savage communal violence, and with its success as a parliamentary democracy despite having 400 million people who cannot read or write, India remains a bewilderingly complex country. A powerful moral leader as well as a wily politician, Gandhi wanted Indians to be proud of their past, to wear Indian rather than foreign dress, to challenge their colonial overlords through peaceful protest and noncooperation and not through violence, and to eliminate discrimination against...

[...] Floor, Hope Maternity Clinic, Anand, Gujarat, India. A work can be "dirty" because it is perceived as physically disgusting (like janitorial work and butchering), because it wounds dignity by requiring servile behavior (like domestic work or shoe shining), or it offends moral conceptions (as does sex work, topless dancing, and surrogate mothering).6 Some people may applaud certain kinds of dirty work (such as taking care of AIDS patients) while simultaneously remaining physically and psychologically distant from it.5 Surrogacy resides in this sticky area- surrogates are described as "true angels" who "make dreams happen," but surrogacy is also surrounded by controversies about the "ethics of selling motherhood" and "renting wombs.

The latest US theory outlined in Army Field Manual 3-24, Counterinsurgency, for instance, places significant emphasis on the value of capable institutions, but such concepts have little relevance for many governments. Since the manual is written for use by forces of a host government, the authors assume that resources necessary to develop a capable institution will be available, even if the embattled government is unable or unwilling to provide them.3 In reality, many medium-powered nations simply do not have the institutions (or money and personnel) essential to execute a contemporary counterinsurgency strategy.

In this Article I examine “medical tourism”—the travel of patients who are residents of one country to another country for medical treatment—which is fast becoming a multi-billion dollar industry. To date, the primary U.S. medical tourists appear to have been uninsured or underinsured Americans seeking substantial cost savings by traveling to less developed countries for care. More recently, state governments, self-insured firms, Fortune 500 companies, and domestic insurers have begun attempts to get their insured populations to use medical tourism as well by requiring it or giving incentives for its use (what I call “insurer-prompted medical tourism”).
There is, however, a dark side to the growth of this industry. In this Article I set out...
