Health Care

Heart surgery in India costs a tiny fraction of what it costs in the US.

"The average cost of a coronary bypass at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio is $106,385. In India, you can get the same procedure for 95,000 rupees, or $1,583, which is half the price it cost 20 years ago. And, efforts are underway to bring the cost down even more, to about $800, within a decade."

That's because of government control of health care and our economy.
