Medical Vacations, as it is now called is a very fast growing industry, and many insurance companies will now pay for the trip and the treatment in a foreign country because it saves them money over paying for the same treatment here.

If they can afford a trip to a foreign country, they can afford dental care. They would rather spend their money on their luxuries or pleasures. The truly indigent can avail the Medicaid programs and often dentists adjust their rates and provide charity for those who real reasons for not being able to pay.
