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...

College professors typically expend a considerable amount of time, energy, and effort on academic research. But only one study to date has demonstrated the societal benefit of such research by showing that the content of academic research responds to real-world problems. This article adds to this scant literature by investigating empirically if the prevalence of health insurance articles in the Journal of Risk and Insurance (JRI) can be explained by the state of the health economy. According to the findings, both the uninsured rate and health care spending share are directly related to the percentage of health insurance articles published in the JRI. Thus, the empirical results suggest that the research decisions of insurance economists are influenced at the margin by real-world problem...

There have been a lot of articles in the news lately about the need for changes in insurance. In the 58 years I've been around I can honestly say that I don't know anyone or have never met anyone - that I am aware of - who has ever sued a doctor for malpractice. There is no doubt that this occurs but how many of these claims are legitimate and how many are bogus?
According to statistics the cost of liability represents a grand total of 1 percent of the total cost of providing health care to Americans today so any intelligent person would have to ask themselves why people are so fixated on that 1 percent instead of looking at the other 99 percent.
