Globalization has enabled economically weak economies get into better shape. So can some countries agree the same to be followed in this case too? The issue to be considered is this....just like IT professionals are pushed to the US and other countries, will or should india work for an advantage to import old retired folks from US and Europe to take advantage of its lower medical costs? People in the US spends a lot on medicare and it makes sense if they go on to settle down in india and other countries and spend less than they could spend in their country to get better medicare facilities? Will it work as an advantage for both the countries? India gets some foreign exchange and can kick in some employment in nursing and health care? US on the other hand need to consider lesser investment on medicare headache and insurance.
India on the other hand can use its medical professionals and junior doctors to take advantage of this situation by providing quality healthcare at a premium....in short what costs Rs 1 lakh for locals can be Rs 2.5 lakhs for outsiders thus taking extra money and using that to cut down subsidy costs for local people. It makes more sense to me though except if you dont consider the same comfort levels, pollution etc. But atleast these old folks may have constant company than stay isolated in their country. Most of the old folks either stay in old age home with their kids visiting them every weekend or ever month or forgotten for good. Atleast here for the lure of a dollar, some people may genuinely keep these folks in good spirits and could give them a second lease of life before their death finally arrive. Too bad to see how old people are treated like old stuff/clothes and discarded for new ones. Or someone can start a 5-star old age homes in india in some nature resort where they provide everything from life saving medical care to providing them nutritious meals and entertainment.
