Markets in Everything: Medical Tourism TO the USA

"Miami hospitals are partnering with the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau to market Miami as a destination for international patients. Deloitte estimated in 2008 that 400,000 international patients go to the US for medical care, but since then other sources have suggested it is much higher and the current figure could be around 750,000. Ironically, the country most targeted by overseas destinations, the USA, now probably has more inbound medical tourists than there are Americans going overseas."
